I have been a type 1 diabetic for 5 years and my sugars have generally been fine. About a month or so ago a started having problems with my sugar level going up at night for no apparent reason. At first it was only going up 2 or 3 but now I am going up nearly 10. My sugar will be perfect at bed time, but terrible in the mourning.

In the pre-dawn time frame the body pumps a number of hormones into our bloodstream. These hormones cause the sugars to rise as a result in the body assisting them to work by providing the extra energy that they need in the way of "sugars". You may have this continue until you get sufficient insulin or meds to make your pancreas supply it. KEEP CHECKING the sugar in the morning until it levels off. Have a safe and happy holiday!

Are you eating before before going to bed? That could cause it. If not some diabetics experience something called "dawn phenomenon" where overnight your body release hormones into your blood stream causing blood sugars to go up.

You may need an additional dose of meds o a higher script. Also be careful to eat your last meal of the day well before bed time and try to eat light.

Are you eating something with a lot of carbs before you go to bed? I've been having the same problem too.
