When someone is diabetic?!
Question: when they wake up in the moring meds or not, do they have to eat, like have to- cuz they are feeling weird or something, I dont know just what I heard.

Usually in the morning my sons b.s. run low and he feels like his skin is crawing with bugs or he can't think very well. Sometimes he thinks he is doing something but he really isn't.
Well ... my daughter (Type 1 DM) gets very hungry if her blood sugar is too high or too low. Many get lows early in the morning, so I would guess that's what you heard about.
No.....
When I get out of bed, I test my glucose before I drink coffee, take my meds then drink the coffee and have a slice of cheese and a couple slices of apple. Snack not because I am hungry, but because I take Metformin and it needs food with it to not cause stomach upset. Also it keeps the insulin injection from sending me running to vacuum the fridge!
I hate to mess with trying to remember meds later in the morning!! So I take it all when I do the fasting glucose testing and recording.
Evening at 6 I repeat the morning meds routine!
That is about 12 hours later!!! Must take some of these things on an unvarying schedule.
I'm type 1 and on an insulin pump. As long as my blood sugar levels are above 100 I may not eat for hours. When I was on those stupid needles I had to eat every morning due to the fact there was nothing there for the insulin to work on so I'd get bad lows.
my friend was diagnosed with type 1 and she got up, but she couldnt eat till after 10:30 AM. sometimes if we a had lunch early she couldnt eat.
What happens is that your liver will actually release glucose while you are sleeping. This will cause your sugar levels to spike early in the morning. Many diabetics will need to take a long acting insulin at night to counter the glucose spikes in the morning.
