I found the forum area! Nice to have you as my friend.

Hello! I was wondering where I would post a question about my blood sugar? You see, I have to keep it at 300 before bed or else I will wake up with my bs in the 30s. Did anyone have this experience once? My Endo does not know why it drops so much while I sleep. I take 1:15 insulin for my meals and correction is for every 50 over take one unit. I am thinking I am taking too much here but my bs stays high during the day. Like my insulin works slower when I am active and faster when I am dormant(sleeping). I take 20 units of Lantus as well once a day. Can someone please help me? 300 is very high to be going to sleep with.

I'll help as much as I can. (I wasn't always the good diabetic here) May I say one thing here. When you get that A1C down you will feel much better. Exercise and following that diet and checking your bs and getting control of it will go far in that. I got up to a 9.0 one time and when I got it back to an 8.2 I felt like parting b/c I felt so much better & had more energy.Do just what allamerican said.
