I get a lot of diabetic patients on my unit. They tend to be on long acting insulins before bedtime, such as Lantus/Levemir/Detemir.Recently diagnosed as diabetic, meds seem to be working all during the day except at night...I have a nice, normal blood glucose reading at night before bedtime, and by morning it has gone up quite high...even higher than some post-meal readings. Both my nurse and my dietician say this is common for dawn phenomenon, and that no one yet has a good way to deal with it.
Has anyone else encountered this, and, if so, how did you or your MD deal with it?
