90 wow i wish my sugar level was that low. but your fine your sugar levels should be between 80 and 120. mine i usually about 250 so your lucky your meds are working for you. what did you eat/drink before you went to bed last night that has a big effect on your levels. bread has a big effect pop diet or regular has a big effect. just pay attention to what you eat/drink before bed but still 90 is a good number.

This can be a normal thing for diabetics as we sleep the body releases sugars into the blood the sugar is used while you sleep to do repairs etc to the body and some times these sugars are not all used so stay in the blood.Then once you rise the body uses this sugar for energy and so the blood sugar lowers again
I have been told that a teaspoon of protein such as pea nut butter eaten before bed can help stop this as the blood uses the protein to do repairs so less sugar is released in first place
And being pregnant can cause chemical changes in a woman's body any way so this could be a contributor ,discuss this with your paediatrician or doctor on next visit
And hey your spelling is not as bad as you think i could read what you asked well enough.

This may be due to the fact the body uses the time you're sleeping to digest food you've eaten. If you had a bedtime snack, or ate later than usual that could explain the higher reading. The fact that you were diagnosed only two years ago, indicates that you are a Type II diabetic. This type of Diabetes can be greatly controlled by diet and exercise. But even though your reading was up 20 points higher than usual, its still within the normal range. I would be concerned about dropping too low.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Normal blood sugar is anywhere from 80 mg/dl to 120 mg/dl.
Not getting enough sleep or getting poor-quality sleep can negatively affect your glycemic control.
While the reason for this is not entirely known, lack of sleep may increase release of glucose from the liver, and poor sleep quality may increase hormones that increase blood glucose levels and make you more insulin resistant.
This medication glyburide may cause changes in your blood sugar. So, I would suggest calling your doctor and asking about what happened and is there anything to be alarmed about.

A person who is not diabetic can temporarily become diabetic during pregnancy due to the hormonal changes, and when someone is diabetic to begin with, blood sugars can go wild. You probably need to let your OBGYN know about your blood sugars and see what they recommend. They may change the dosage of your medication, put you on a special diet, or recommend exercise.

unless that it very unusual for you (which by the sounds of it, it is) those numbers are perfect. i wish my numbers were like that. i would never be able to go to bed with my blood sugar at 70 because i'll always wake up an few hours later in my 40's. even tho your numbers are normal, you aren't used to them. you were just put on a new medicine, so things are adjusting, and you have nothing to worry about.

Blood sugar rising during the night is usually caused by your liver. It often is related to your genes.
While both your readings are excellent, you can always try different eating/exercise patterns to see if they work better for you.
