Well this is about the 3rd time this week I have woken up around 210. What pisses me off even more is that I correct and nothing happens, I then correct 2 hours later and still 200, I finally get really mad and correct a 3rd time (also about 50% more than suggested) and finally it goes down!!!! I think it's time for a basal check over night, and maybe change my morning correction factor??? When I correct during the day it works find, no issues... Just frustrated

Kenny, the morning High blues... Yuck!  Did you look into dawn phenomenon?

I have to make some basal adjustments for it.  I start mine around 2am-3am (so it targets it @ 4-5am when I get that burst of glucose from my liver)

Yeah I would say it's the old fashion dawn phenomenon. Does anyone know why it's called a phenomenon anyways?

Good question. 

The def of Phenomenon is "any state or process known through the senses rather than by intuition or reasoning" and "a rare or significant fact or event "

Makes more sense.

The reason your blood sugar spikes in the morning is a simple factor called glucogenesis. Without adequate insulin through the night, your liver will essentially produce excess glucose. Essentially, the oxidation of glucose stops and your liver, intestines and kidneys start producing glucose. A short every two hours of lispro insulin will correct the problem quickly. An insulin pump will make this easier. Insulin works like a water faucet in your liver. It controls and allows a steady flow of glucose into your blood stream. Inadequate insulin at any time will throw your liver into the survival mode, which is essentially a bypass of the normal process.  This little animation will be helpful to explain. http://www.learnerstv.com/animation/animation.php?ani=173&cat=biology

Lately i've been having morning high's no matter what I do.  For example, last night I went to sleep around 3 in the morning(I have a crazy college sleeping habit now) and it was 133.  I woke up and it was in the 400's and I hadn't eaten anything.  I'm not sure why this is.  I've previously settled with 36 units of long acting insulin at nights and it has worked before, and it can stay down during the day.  But i'm just not sure as to why it shoots up thaaat much while i'm sleeping.  I hadn't eaten anything and by 10 o'clock it's 400.  These have been my recent mornings and they frustrate my day although I don't let it show.

That happened to me. I'd go to bed at 2 and get up early and my number would be sky high. Do you use a pump? Before I switched to Omnipod, I had a Medtronic Minimed Paradigm insulin pump. The tubing kinked when I lay down on it. This skyrocketed my BG.

When life hands you lemons, add sugar and water, bolus and ENJOY.

No I don't use a pump.  I'm going to use injections until I get used to everything, then I may switch to the pump. 

But yep, I have no idea why this happens...

p.s i like your sig john lol
