Blood Sugar Bedtime

By checking your blood sugar levels before bed, you and your doctor will be able to determine if your medication and other therapies are effectively regulating your blood glucose levels overnight. Your blood sugar target at bedtime should be in the range of 90 to 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), depending on your weight. Blood sugar checks should be done regularly if you have diabetes.

Why done? 

If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you may have experienced the “dawn phenomenon” or “dawn effect.” Your blood sugar may surge between 2 and 8 a.m. Insufficient insulin or medicine dose the night before, carbohydrate nibbling at bedtime or your liver generating a burst of glucose overnight could all cause this spike in blood sugar.

A high-fiber, low-fat snack before bedtime can help. Just make sure you don’t go over your daily calorie or carbohydrate allowance. Eating too much before night can lead to weight gain, which is harmful to diabetics.
