Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Chatty, Ross said it's a well documented syndrome called Sunrise Syndrome. Ask your doctor about it. It has to do with being sedentary through the night and there is also a hormonal implication. Let me know if you want to pick his brain after you talk to your doctor. Are the numbers going down? I pray so!

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Dotsie, thank Ross for me. Well my numbers are better than ever before last night at about 9:00 pm they were 163, and I was thrilled since 120 to 130 is considered okay. But then this morning after a nights rest they were 207, still not too bad but that drives me nuts. I'm contemplating taking my last pill closer to bedtime, maybe that'll help some. Thanks for your interest and help....it's so appreciated.

Agate Member Registered: 01/04/04 Posts: 164 Loc: Minnesota	Chatty, my husband has Type I diabetis and it seems to me that it's a tough thing to control. He takes a different insulin at night to combat the sugar rise but then his blood sugar often drops too low at night and he has to eat something to raise it back up. He, unfortunately, doesn't try to control his eating but figures he can balance whatever he eats with the insulin. Maybe that's okay but it doesn't make sense to me. I'm just playing catch up on the postings and was sorry to hear that you're ill. I hope you're getting better every day.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Mary, I think type 1 is much harder to control than what I have which is type 2. Both are a real puzzle at times. I am doing my very best and hope it's not too little, too late. God bless him and hope he does well.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Chatty, that might work. Also, I think it depends on the individual. My daughter has a harder time controlling her's and she's type II. That's because she doesn't use any medicine. All of her control comes from diet and exercise which is much harder than covering with insulin as needed. Agate, has your husband ever bottomed out in the middle of the night?

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	IT's when the blood sugar level gets so low that they become unconscience. You need to give them sugar to get them to come. This doesn't typically happen during the day because they feel themselves getting low and eat something. During the night they can't catch themselves because they're sleeping. It's scary.

Toni Member Registered: 12/11/03 Posts: 504 Loc: Pennsylvania	Hi Chatty, Just wanted to put my 'two-cents' worth in and let you know that I'm keeping you in my prayers and hoping you're well soon. Sometimes an illness goes on for awhile; but don't give up. Wellness often takes time, effort, medication and a Dr's expertise. Just know that we 'boomer' women care and want the best for you! Your Diet Buddy,

Maggie Member Registered: 02/19/03 Posts: 765 Loc: Oregon	Chatty, After I came out of the hospital it was hard for me to get the blood sugars down. I tried to behave and do what I had been told. The doctor later told me part of the high blood sugar was because of the trauma of being in the hospital. Hang in there and keep doing what your supposed to. They will come down. I know this is frustrating but like Toni said "it does take time" Maggie
