Are you worried because of your high morning blood glucose levels? If you are, then read further to find a simplest solution. The most uncontrollable part of the glucose level is the morning glucose, reason is not that it is very difficult to control it, rather most of us fail to understand the cause of its being high.
Cause # 1
During sleep, your blood glucose may fall from the insulin you took that day, and the hormones that raise blood glucose may be secreted, resulting in high blood glucose in the morning. This is called the Somogyi effect after the doctor who first described it. Some mornings, the blood glucose may be low if it didn't get low enough to trigger hormone secretion, whereas other mornings it may be high. If you fail to realize that the cause is too much insulin and not too little, you may increase your insulin and make the situation worse. Before you increase insulin at bedtime, do a blood glucose test in the middle of the night. If the level is low, you probably has the Somogyi effect, and you should decrease, not increase, the amount of long-acting insulin you give him at bedtime.
Cause # 2
Dawn phenomenon, on the other hand, is caused by secretion of too much growth hormone during the night so that, by morning, it has raised the blood glucose to high levels. If your morning blood glucose levels are consistently high, nighttime long-acting insulin usually takes care of this problem and provides more normal morning blood glucose.
Cause # 3
Another possible reason for a morning high, unrelated to either of the previously mentioned situations, is that the insulin used at bedtime didn't work long enough to keep the blood glucose from rising overnight. Older forms of insulin such asNPH tend to fall short in this manner, whereas newer long-acting insulin like Glargine and Detemir do not.
