Morning BS is high, but night BS is low.

I am using Novolog 3 times and Lantus 1 time.  I usually have a dinner 7:00PM, BS is raging from 110 to 160 at 10:00PM,  100-120 at 2:00AM,  130-150 at 7:00AM just before breakfast.  What is the reason morning BS so high ?  If it is a little bit high, I understand the fact that due to some hormon, it seems bit high.  How should I adjust the insulin amount ?

Thanks for using the forum.

The blood sugar numbers you provide show your levels to be running slightly elevated most of the time. Normal blood sugar is 65-110. The goal of your treatment is to keep your blood sugar within those limits at all times. I would suggest that you speak with your endocrinologist about how best to adjust your diet and insulin to maintain your blood sugar within normal limits.

Well it depends on the amount of Lantus you are taking at night.  As you may know, that will regulate your blood sugar throughout the night.  I have been diabetic since I was 2, and props to you for checking you sugar that much, I got tired of pricking my finger 4-7 times a day....

100 to 120 is not low... low is under 65  the after dinner of 180 is high.  BG over 140 IS causing damage to your body.  and yes BG rises for many in the morning its called Dawn Phenomenon (DP)
