I believe it is referred to as the dawn phenomenon. See what everyone else says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Les, As a type II your pancreas is still producing some insulin, so after you noon meal your med has kicked in and in all probability so has you pancreas with more insulin. Often times our fasting is higher due to something called dawn phenomenon. This is where around 6-8 hrs. into sleep our body needs more energy to do automatic jobs, like heart beating, breathing etc. So our body automatically releases more glucose into our system. But this does not work if we do not have enough insulin to work on this glucose thus causing a higher bg fasting in the A.M.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hi -- I have been diabetic for 30 years and take 4 or more shots per day. I have the same problem daily with my bloodsugars and ketones. If the doctor's solution has not helped call him/her again or call the emergency room. I have had to take as many as 4 boosters to bring mine down. But then of course you have to monitor more often to avoid the downside (too low). Your doctor is supposed to be there 24/7 for you so don't hesitate. Good luck! Let me know how it goes. Sharon in California [alldiabeticinternational] question has anyone had this happen: my daughter, 11 years old, dx'd at 5, woke up today at a whopping 388 with lg. ketones then went to 277, 211, 107 and now at 69, still having lg. ketones, i called the doctor, who told me to give her a booster of 1 unit of humalog, which i did at 3:00, and that was supposed to help get rid of the ketones, however that has not worked. any suggestions? thank you all for your help! pancreatitis info http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ThePancreatitisPlace/ diabetic recipes http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/diabetic_recipes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 , Yes, I definitly have encountered these problems. Along with the insulin give a readily available glucose such as orange juice. An over simple explanation for how this works is that it gives the insulin the ability to clear the system. It always worked for us. God bless your daughter and may she quickly clear this problem.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 thank you so much for your advice and info. I am also type 1, for 28 years now, but boy did that low sugar with ketones throw me for a loop! She is doing a bit better, after dropping to 57, and still having lg. ketones, the doctor told me to get her sugar up over 200, by giving her some gatorade, which i did, and she was 508, with moderate ketones, and I gave her 2 units of humalog,and now she is at 360, and small ketones, so hopefully those ketones will be on the way out. take care! i wish you all well. - In alldiabeticinternational , " Betty " wrote: > , > > Yes, I definitly have encountered these problems.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Someone may have already posted this cause I am a little slow at reading all the posts. Ketones can stay in your system for several hours. They need to be flushed out. Have her drink fluids(especially water) to flush them lil' meanies out.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 , I didn't realize that the ketons still being there with the sugar dowwn was the thrust of the question. I would have told you that it takes a while for ketones to clear. Even when the sugar is high somethng like Gatoraid is the way to clear them. We were always able to keep our daughter out of the hospital when kids were in the hospital a lot. When she was away at college she messed up (I understand that is a common occurance with teens)and ended up very near death. The doctor was using all the skills he had but was very doubtful that she would recover. At our suggestion he replaced the saline drips with glucose. He had never heard of this. In a few hours she was showing some response and was out of ICU in about 3 days and a few more days to clear. I'm glad your daughter is doing better, and hope she is " all " better shortly.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Yes thats completely normal. If you have been feeling great you may have done too much without realizing it. You have had major surgery, are eating WAY WAY less than you ever have....your body is just finally realizing it and wondering what the hell you did to it. If it persists after really really resting..call your doctor. But really try allowing yourself to rest and recouperate. > I've been feeling great for the past 2 weeks (I had my surgery on > 5/24/05) but today I feel so darn tired!

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I feel like a complete zombie. I thought I had been resting. Just doing short little walks during the day and drinking my water and eating my protein at my 3 meals. I've been getting 9 hours of sleep at night but feel like I could sleep for another 6. Kind of hard with 3 kids around (2 of my own plus 1 of my girlfriends). I went back to work (starting taking my girlfriends 13month old back) on Monday. Maybe it's just more work than I think it is. I'll just try resting more. I really wanted to go to a water aerobics class tomorrow morning. Dr. Baggs said I could. I guess I'll just wait and see how I feel in the morning. Thanks for the advice !
