We have increased his bedtime N to 20 units and we have checked his blood sugar in the middle of the night to make sure he is not rebounding. We also began mixing R and N at bedtime. His numbers in the morning are still 250-370. We have been working closely with our doctor to get these down, but nothing seems to work.

Hormonal changes can cause high blood sugars especially in the morning.
You might ask about changing to an insulin program of Ultralente and Regular or perhaps using a pump so you can attack the nighttime highs. Comments and Feedback . Privacy statement .
