1. Monitor blood sugar before going to bed and add meals reasonably

Elevated fasting blood sugar and large amount of snacks the night before There is a direct relationship, which is equivalent to the anti-diabetic drugs or insulin used in the evening being offset by the snack, so it cannot effectively reduce fasting blood sugar.

The purpose of adding a meal before bedtime for diabetic patients is to avoid hypoglycemia at night. Generally, the blood sugar before bedtime is relatively safe at 6.6-8.3mmol/L. If the blood sugar before bedtime is lower than 6.6mmol/L, it is necessary to Snack. There are also some people with diabetes who have a blood sugar of 7.0 mmol/L before going to bed and also have low blood sugar at night, which cannot be generalized. Therefore, for low blood sugar that occurs at night, the most important thing is to check blood sugar more. But in any case, if the fasting blood sugar is high, and if you have the habit of snacking before going to bed, you need to check whether the amount of snacking is too large.

2. Monitor nocturnal blood sugar and distinguish between the Hematoxylin and Dawn phenomenon

Both of these situations involve the specific use of drugs, and the attending physician’s advice should be consulted. Here’s what you should do at home: Monitor your blood sugar at 2-3 o’clock at night for hypoglycemia to differentiate between the Sumojie reaction and the dawn phenomenon.

Sumujie reaction is a common cause of elevated fasting blood sugar. After hypoglycemia occurs at night, in order to correct this situation, the body increases the secretion of glucocorticoid, causing the abnormal increase in fasting blood sugar the next day. Condition.

The dawn phenomenon is that after 4:00 in the morning, the human body will secrete more glucocorticoids, and normal people will secrete sufficient insulin to balance the glucocorticoids. Therefore, fasting blood sugar can be maintained at within the normal range. Diabetic patients have elevated fasting blood sugar due to lack of insulin secretion. Understanding the difference between the two can be understood that the former is related to the overdose of the drug, and the latter is related to the underdose of the drug at night.

3. Pay attention to whether there is an infection factor

A variety of infections may make the human body in a state of stress and increase fasting blood sugar.

For example, in spring, the respiratory tract is easily invaded by various germs and microorganisms, and it is prone to respiratory system infection. If the upper respiratory tract infection is not actively treated, it is easy to develop into lung infection. The onset of pulmonary infection in diabetic patients is insidious, the symptoms are atypical, and the clinical manifestations are less than typical pneumonia. At the same time, pulmonary infection can aggravate diabetes, manifested as elevated fasting blood sugar.

4. Ensure high-quality sleep

Poor sleep quality, such as insomnia, waking up early, staying up late, or having too many dreams, will lead to sympathetic nerve excitation, leading to elevated blood sugar. Increased secretion of hormones, which in turn leads to elevated fasting blood sugar.

Sleep can be improved in the following ways: try to choose a regular work and rest time, avoid strenuous exercise and avoid being too full or hungry before going to bed, try to eat breakfast before seven o’clock, exercise before eight o’clock, After that, you can listen to music, read books, and ensure good sleep habits.
