Question

is there anything i can do or eat the night before to raise my blood sugar levels in the morning

Answer 1

Well you must know that bread products all turn to sugar,so you may want to try eating a couple slice's of toast before bed.I would try to stay away from the sugar products like candy.Hope this help,good luck,John

Answer 2

Eating or drinking something high in sugar sugar or carbohydrates before bed will only make the problem worse, because you will have a high blood sugar level shortly after consuming it. My brother has had problems with this also, and the best way to combat it is to regulate the amount of insulin you give yourself at night. If you use long-acting humilin (or another type of long-lasting insulin) you should try slowly lowering the dosage each night until you have your ideal reading in the morning. Another thing I would suggest is to wake up a few times a night while you are trying to regulate the insulin levels and check your blood sugar, in order to see what it is doing at different times during the night. You may begin to see a pattern such as highs and one time during the night and lows starting at another time. This is cumbersome but it pays off in the end- believe me!

Answer 3

Many of these answers are very wrong.
You do not say if you take insulin or not.
If you do then you may need a reduction in the evening dose.

You should eat a complex carbohydrate at night that will release glucose slowly but continually for many hours. Many diabetics eat toast before going to bed, wholemeal or granary toast is best.

Anything fast acting like orange juice will simply raise your sugar levels quickly and but they will then quickly drop again and should always be avoided if possible. (except if your suger is very low 'hypo' when you need both instant sugar and slow releasing carbohydrates)
Ideally you should keep a record of what you eat, what your sugar levels are last thing at night and first thing in the morning and sit down with a diabetic specialist nurse or dietician and discuss what is best for you.

Answer 4

Eat a lite snack before bed. Peanut butter and crackers or cheese crackers are a good choice, that will keep you from bottoming out in the early morning hours. Make sure you take your meds correctly, and if you are on inulin never take it if your bllod sugar is 80 or less. You may want to talk to your doctor if you continue to have low blood sugar in the morning, your meds may need adjusting. Remember, high blood sugar causes most of it's problems over time, low blood sugar can cause coma, or even death.

Answer 5

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 6

Anything with a high GI rating will raise your blood sugar and drop again during the night. Make sure you have something that has a low GI rating and it should keep you going through the night. Alternatively look at reducing your last injection of the day. Of course it depends on your insulin regime etc..

Answer 7

Drink anything that is sweet to raise your blood sugar level. If you are travelling and feel low, keep chocolates and candies handy with you and eat when needed. Low blood pressure is caused due to over functioning of pancreas. Eat healthy meals to improve your health and immune system also. Drink fruit juices to keep the blood sugar level under control. take care and be in good health.

Answer 8

What you need to eat is high-carb meal before you go to bed. However these carbs must be slow-release (Low GI in other words). Personally I use porridge. Oats are healthy and very low GI. Make it with milk.
Don't eat fruit sugar or anything like that or else the insulin spike will cause your sugar levels to really drop later.

Answer 9

Eat a snack like peanut butter and graham crackers before bed. Keep a can of juice beside your bed to use for emergencies.
If you are taking diabetic medicine and your sugars are too low, talk to your doctor about adjusting them.
Otherwise, make it a habit to eat higher protien meals before bed. Carb filled meals just take your sugar up and then down, in a matter of hours.

Answer 10

Have something like bread or cereal the carbs stay in your blood stream longer, if you have sugary foods then it takes your sugar up fast and down again fast (ideal for a hypo but not over night), plus if you eat sugary foods because of the speed of your sugar going up and down, your quite likely to suffer with headaches. I hope this is helpful to you.
