Avoid High Morning Blood Sugars | 5 Simple Steps

Well just got home from 6 month A1c appointment. Doc walked in, sat down and logged into computer and said wow, just wow, how did you lower your numer so much? I said , well, what is it? She said its 5. I was at 7.3 I told her how i cut out all white breads pastas, eat more salad n fruit and fish twice a week and walk and the old doctor i saw about another issue telling myself about the dark chocolate with almonds trick. She said well dang, we should have you come and give advice to support groups. I said i would. I also lost 90 lbs now . She also said i could if I wanted to stop the metformin but recommends i still take for another 6 months. I told her I'll take 1 pill for 3 months instead of 2 that i was taking and see what my numbers are using my meter and if still the same then in 4th month I'll stop altogether till next 6 month appointment. Thank you for some of the advice i learned from your channel also. I'm so proud of myself. 😊 She said if next time it's still down at 5 then technically I'll be in remission. ❤🙏

[@DiabetesStrong]

Well done, that's awesome. And I'm so glad your doctor recognized how much of an effort you have made. Amazing

[@TES-bt8sv]

Can you elaborate on the 'dark chocolate with almonds trick'? What brand of chocolate did you eat and what percentage of dark chocolate?

[@slugo915]

@TES-bt8sv yes, foremost, I am not a doctor. The method I used was I ate one piece of Dove dark chocolate with almonds in the lil tin foils they come in after each meal, then walked around the block. The doctor I've seen that day said this Kickstart my insulin resistance. I now only occasionally eat them. Note, the bag of Dove states 4 pieces in a serving, so I only ate 1 after each meal which is less than 1 serving. Idk how, but with my diet and walking and losing weight I'm still in remission. Hope this helps you or anyone else. I now only eat maybe 2 in a day max but is a nice treat. But from all this I also notice that when I eat fruits, like watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew it's like having a candy bar and is so satisfying. 🙏

Great video. I was brought up in a working class family that we all had good jobs 6 am till 2:30 pm. So our normal dinner time was 5pm . I got off that schedule when I went third shift for more money. Anyway went back to first shift schedule and yes no eating after 7pm. Well my numbers are well withing the normal range now. Wake up usually 80's to 90. Even with my diet, mostly zero carbs and whole grain spaghetti with side salad my 2 hr mark is 123- 130 max. And before bed usually around 100. I'm newly diagnosed type 2 since August 2023. Next A1c is March 1st. Can't wait to see what I got it down to. Lastly I've been walking at least twice a day after meals and lost 56 pounds now. I wish all with either type the best of luck! If you have type 2 it can be done, I'm proof. In beginning I thought no way I'll be able to watch what I eat. But it really isn't that hard and I'm actually finding different foods enjoyable. When I think of all the complications that could happen like , loss of limbs, sight, nerve damage ,heart damage etc that motivates myself. Sorry for the long post. ❤🙏

Thanks and great video! I have also found eating dinner around 5 PM with more carbs and less protein/fats keeps my blood glucose from going up after bedtime and I also make sure my blood glucose levels are good before bedtime. Combining that with long acting Tresiba and I rarely have low morning blood sugar levels and as a bonus I can get up later if I want as Tresiba lasts so long with no peaking. I take my Tresiba in the morning and one pro tip is put an insulin timer cap on my Tresiba as sometimes I don't think well in the morning and on rare occasions I can forget to take it but as the day goes on it can see my blood glucose rise abnormally so I can go back to check if I really did take it and don't risk double dosing or not taking it at all, which would really screw up my blood glucose for at least an entire day if not 2!

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

When I noticed my blood sugar raising in the afternoon and evening I realized my basal insulin was too low and adjusted. If basal dose is too high my blood sugar crashed in the early morning, or I had hypoglycemia episodes sometime during the day. Once you learn the carb counting and correction dose stuff it seems to become a trial and error thing after that as the insulin resistance changes during the day. Walks after meals and fasting help to increase the carb ratio a lot, but if I slack too much my carb ratio goes backwards causing spikes.

I’m so jealous of other people’s insulin to carb ratio. 1.5 units of insulin doesn’t even touch a morning high. If I wake up at 4 or so I will inject 3 or 4 units and that helps. Took an extra 6 units of toujeo last night and that really helped. Going to switch long acting insulin to take at night. Instead of morning. Have been on MDI for three years but in the process of switching to tandem pump. I think I forget why I hated pumps so much 😂

Thank you. My local CVS managed to get me another round of Levemir, so I now have enough to last me through the summer (might be worth a try if she wants to stick with Levemir for a bit longer). I have a prescription for Basaglar, an insulin glargine like Lantus. But since I got more Levemir I didn’t fill it yet. I think pumps, including Omnipod, are great but when I tried one I found it to be too much work. I do think that was mainly due to my lifestyle. It might be worth a try for your mom. It’s going to be more work in the beginning but if it doesn’t work out she can switch back to pens. You should ask, but I think they are a “try before you buy” kind of program

[@guyincognito1985]

@@DiabetesStrong Thanks for the reply! The CVS around here are out of Levemir. Her doctor jokingly suggested taking a trip to Europe to buy Levemir. Basaglar sounds like another option for her to discuss with her doctors (I know Tresiba/degludec is also on the table as another option). Maybe it's formulation is different enough, that it wouldn't bother her. Being forced to change your insulin, especially when you've relied on it for 10+ years, sure does stink!

Well now, sweet pea, wranglin' that blood sugar into submission is 'bout as crucial as findin' shade on a blisterin' summer day if you're aimin' to steer clear of them microvascular complications. I'm keen to share my two cents on how I kept my paws within them ADA/AACE lines for blood pressure and LDL cholesterol to dodge those sneaky little troubles. Now, keepin' that blood pressure gentler than a lamb, somethin' like under 130/80 mmHg, is a must. It's akin to tryin' to lasso a cloud-tricky but doable. Might mean you have to say "no thank you" to that extra dash of salt, even if it feels like sayin' goodbye to your favorite fishing spot. And get movin' more than a jitterbug at a hoedown, 'cause it helps keep them numbers prettier than a peach. And that LDL cholesterol, the rascal of the blood fat kin, needs to be kept lower than a frog's belly, aimin' for under 70 mg/dL for the most of us. But for folks with a bit more risk, like having them heart disease footprints already, the doc might say to aim even lower 55 mg/dl. Means you might have to pass up on those lip-smackin' fried delights more often than not. Sometimes, you'll need the help of a pill, like them statins, to herd that LDL down to where it belongs. But don't you fret, it ain't all about givin' up the good stuff. It's 'bout fillin' your boots with the right kind of grub-those greens, lean meats, and grains that make you feel like you hit the jackpot at a church picnic. It's like balancin' on a log in the creek. Regular chinwags with your doc, stickin' to your meds like burrs on a wool sock, and keepin' an eagle eye on those numbers is part and parcel of the whole shebang. So, buttercup, keepin' a tight rein on your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol is the secret sauce to sidesteppin' those complications and livin' life as grand as a potluck with no end. It's a path worth takin', filled with laughter, a bit of gumption, and maybe a piece of peach pie with no sugar on top.

After 4-5am, I check my blood sugar..sometimes it is high between 150 and 230) so I take regular insulin shot (10-15 units).. It helps to reduce my blood sugar down after 8am.

Slightly off-topic, but still relative. I recently switched from Levemir to Tresiba. I’m 10 days on Tresiba and still really struggling with it. I’ve come to the point where my daytime sugars are pretty good. I am in range ,however my overnight sugars are dangerously high. And when I correct throughout the night, my corrections don’t work as well as they should , meaning that they only seem to lower my sugar by a couple points, and it seems the rapid acting insulin doesn’t work as well. I’m hesitant to further increase my Tresiba dose , because my during the day is fine. What can I do to combat going to bed with such a high sugar and having to correct throughout the night? Of course I’m going to try to have a lighter and earlier dinner and see how much that helps. If that doesn’t work, is my only option to go back to Levemir or Lantus because I can inject it twice a day? What are your thoughts? Thank you !!! 😊

[@christopherdecker8171]

I struggled with night time highs, and good daytime numbers, I was MDI with Lantus and Lyumjev rapid. Definitely be mindful of dinner and late snacks, I've had some fats start to rise after 5-6 hours, proteins as late as 4 hours after eating them. I have switched to OP5 a year ago and use Lyumjev in it (works best for me). Now I only have one or two nights I tend to run a little high depending on late snacks and more protein/fats in them.

I typically use levimer but since it’s going to be discontinued the end of the year I wanted to find another long acting insulin that I could use for pump vacations. I’m going to do some basal assessments -early dinners with very little fat protein and carbohydrate. I already avoid snacking at night. If I still run high overnight, then I clearly need two different basal rates , one during the day and one at night in which case I’ll have to switch to Lantus so I can do a split dose. And then eventually go back on the pump!

[@DiabetesStrong]

Let me know if any of the tips I mention help you. You might be digesting food a little slower in the evenings, I know that happens to me, so less snacking and an earlier dinner might be the trick. Another thought is that you might have to change your correction factor at night. Although I would wait until you know if it's a "food digestion" issue before looking into that

@@DiabetesStrong thank you !! Video is fantastic and exactly the information I was looking for .I’m pretty savvy with basal assessments and adjustments. If I discover when I eat an earlier dinner that’s lower in fat that my overnight my sugars are OK then I have a decision to make. Because that’s just not the reality of my lifestyle. I work late hours. My dinners are always after 7:30 PM and there’s a lot of social events in my work. so then I might always struggle being on Tresiba every time my dinner is late or higher fat. I never snack in the evening. That definitely is the advantage of Levemir and Lantus, I could always change that evening dose accordingly!!!

Has anyone here, type one or two had any experience with the c-peptide test? Long story shortER I was diagnosed with type 2 in 1998. Several years ago my new and current Endocrinologist changed my diagnosis to type 1. My c-peptide was .5 which obviously isn't zero but was lower than the low side of normal for that test/lab's reference range. Possibly I'm really more of a type 1.5 in that I'm not obese but my glucose was not being well controlled with pills only. The guy is from Pakistan and seems to feel that we are done talking about my diagnosis. I can't afford to lose him as I was already discharged by the last Endo's office. My c-peptide was .5 with him too and he DIDN'T change my diagnosis from type 2. Also we did the antibodies and GAD65 and they were negative and normal. How could 2 Endocrinologists with the same 3 test results tell me complete opposite things?

[@DiabetesStrong]

A lot of doctors don't know or really understand Type 1.5/LADA. I would have thought a 0.5 C-Peptide would have made the first endo raise an eyebrow or two. I understand it can be frustrating to get conflicting answers though.

[@jackschitt6235]

@@DiabetesStrong I was under the impression for a long time that type ONE diabetics make NO insulin. Since type two is much more common and many books are specifically for type 2 those are the books that I took out from the library. I don't remember and it's been a long time ago by now but I think the reference range for this test/lab was using .9 as the low side of normal. I know a woman Endocrinologist here on KZbin said .3 and below she leans toward type ONE and .7 and above she leans toward type 2 and people like me are in a "grey area" and the doctors aren't even getting black and white guidance from the American Diabetes Association currently. Plus I read something else to consider is if the c-peptide test is done when you are already on endogenous insulin that can cause your c-peptide to be lower than if you weren't yet using any insulin. Essentially what happens is the body sees insulin coming in from the outside so it kind of reacts by saying I guess I don't need to work as hard to make as much insulin as possible.

[@DiabetesStrong]

@@jackschitt6235 this is a pretty good newer article on this issue. Gary Scheiner is a great resource: www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/why-adults-who-develop-type-1-diabetes-are-being-diagnosed-with-type-2-diabetes

[@pM-sh4ep]

I have had LADA for over 15 years. I had c-peptide tests early on and recently asked for one a few months ago because I feel like my diabetes is harder to control now than it was years ago. My result was 0.5 which, like you say, is low but it still shows some insulin production. My endocrinologist looked at my glucose reading from the same draw of the c peptide and said because my blood sugar wasn’t really high at the time it makes it harder to interpret. If you had a 0.5 c peptide while fasting that’s not that low of a reading, but if you had a c-peptide of 0.5 after eating, then it’s pretty low. Also, you can’t “officially” diagnose type 1 diabetes from a c-peptide test, you need the antibody marker tests. LADA is a form of type 1, the main difference is we get it in adulthood and it has a slower onset than type 1. It does seem to have characteristics of both types though. Even though I’m on insulin, my endo also has be on metformin as well. It’s not well understood, but it seems to be getting more common and I hope more research is being done for LADA.

[@pM-sh4ep]

Jack, instead of relying on a c-peptide test to distinguish between type 1 and type 2, they should do the antibody tests: Islet cell cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ICA) Glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies (GADA) Insulinoma-associated-2 autoantibodies (IA-2A) Insulin autoantibodies (IAA)

I'm having trouble with this. My long acting insulin changed. I noticed my sugar being much higher when this change was made. What damage happens when your sugar stays very high for several hours? I have called my doctor. She told me to keep on it for a while longer before she does a formulary exception. ugh.

[@DiabetesStrong]

It depends on what level of high blood sugar we're talking about and for how long. Since your doctor told you to stick with it for a bit longer she doesn't sound too worried. I have found that it can take time to get a new long-acting adjusted (titrated) to the right level. It took me almost a month to find the right dose when I went from Levemir to Tresiba, simply because Tresiba is an ultra-long duration and it takes a few days before it has fully kicked in. I did do a video on high blood sugars, you can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3K8Y5iBgZWKr80si=jCqMXXF4lEGAbYCr PS I know I already sent you other videos.
