The Sleep and Hypoglycemia
On my last visit to my endocrinologist, I mentioned her that I noticed that my sleep was less restful when I was in hyperglycemia in the morning. She seemed surprised at my observation. As if I was the first diabetic to informed her of this problem.
In my case, if I wake up with blood glucose greater than 200, I do not feel that the night was relaxing, even though I slept about eight hours. At this moment, I feel like I only slept 4-5 hours, I feel pressure in my eyes as I feel in short nights.
Am I alone in feeling this way?

Could it be , that you had a low( lows , if it happens regularly ) and rebounded ? Any idea what your BG is at about 2-3 am ?? Would you require more basal to help with the dawn effect ? Do you take bed time snack and bolus incorrectly ? You and Endo may have the correct answers to these questions and I may be totally of base .

My concern is not about the basal or hypo during the night. This situation doesn't happen very often. Since I'm on the pump, it happens rarely also. But I remember when I was on MDI, I woke up in the morning frequently around 250 and I remember that I always woke up like I had a very bad night. But when I talked to my endo about that situation, she seems surprised that the hyper during the night had caused this effect of tiredness. I just wondering if anyone else feel like me.
