See how Levemir Â®can help your body control blood sugar day and night See how Levemir® can help your body control blood sugar day and night. When you have diabetes, your body may not be making enough insulin to control your blood sugar or may prevent the insulin you do make from working correctly. Levemir® is a man-made insulin that can help provide the insulin your body needs between meals and while you’re sleeping. As a long-acting (or basal) insulin, Levemir® provides blood sugar control for up to 24 hours and lowers your A1C.

Why Does Blood Sugar Spike in the Morning? When your blood sugar drops, your body releases stored sugar -- mainly from the liver -- and overcompensates. If your blood sugar level drops in the middle of the night, this overproduction of sugar can cause a high level in the morning. This is called the Somogyi effect.irst, look at food. What you ate the night before may be behind the blood sugar spike -- for example, if you ate much more than you usually eat, or if the amount of food was more than your medications are made to handle.

What if my blood sugar drops too low at night? If you do have a nighttime low, discuss it with your health care provider. You may benefit from a different type of insulin (two common time-released insulins are Levemir and Lantus). The downside to using that strategy means more insulin injections to cover meals by injecting rapid-acting insulin (typically NovoLog, Humalog, or Apidra).

ARTICLES why blood sugar levels rise overnight. When you go to bed, your blood sugar reading is 110, but when you wake up in the morning, it has shot up to 150. Why does this happen? To understand how blood sugar levels can rise overnight without your eating anything, we have to look at where glucose comes from — and where it goes — while we sleep. During the day, the carbohydrates we eat are digested into glucose and absorbed into the bloodstream. Some of this glucose goes to the liver, where it is stored for later use.

What can one eat before going to bed to keep your liver from dumping glucose into your blood stream? The issue of whether to eat a bedtime snack or not, as well as what to eat for a snack, remains somewhat controversial. Not everyone with diabetes needs to eat a bedtime snack, and sometimes eating before bed can lead to higher blood glucose levels the next morning. On the other hand, not eating a snack at night can trigger the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream overnight, “thinking” that the body is lacking fuel.

Waking sweat If it's too low early morning, this possibly is not taking place, so glucose drops too low. If this is occurring, I suggest you try taking 4000 to 8000mg/day glutamine at night. This amino acid can be used by the brain in place of glucose, but being an amino it doesn't cause a sharp drop in blood glucose levels.
