Blood sugar control process before going to bed

HƯƠNG SƠN (THEO EVERYDAYHEALTH) |

Controlling blood sugar before bed is an important part of diabetes management.

Check blood sugar

Check your blood sugar before bed to make sure it is at a safe level. Your blood sugar level before bed should be between 100-140 mg/dL (5.6-7.8 mmol/L), depending on your doctor's instructions.

If your blood sugar is too low, you may need to eat a snack to avoid hypoglycemia at night. If your blood sugar is too high, you may need to adjust your insulin or medication dose (as directed by your doctor).

Eat a light snack before bed (if needed)

A snack of complex carbohydrates combined with protein, such as a piece of whole-wheat bread with cheese, or unsweetened yogurt with nuts, can help keep blood sugar levels stable throughout the night.

Avoid sweet or starchy foods that are often high on the glycemic index, such as candy or fruit juice, which can cause blood sugar to spike and then drop rapidly in the middle of the night, causing hypoglycemia.

Drink water but not too much

Drinking enough water before going to bed is essential to maintain hydration, but you should not drink too much water to avoid having to wake up many times during the night to go to the bathroom, interrupting your sleep.

Adjust medication or insulin doses as directed by your doctor.

If you are taking insulin or blood sugar lowering medication, make sure you take your prescribed dose in the evening. Some long-acting insulins are designed to maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the night.

Prepare sweets in case of hypoglycemia at night

Keep sugary foods on hand to prevent hypoglycemia at night. Keep foods containing fast-absorbing sugars, such as candy, glucose tablets, or fruit juice, next to your bed. This will help you quickly fix the problem if you feel low at night.

Monitoring for nocturnal hypoglycemia

Symptoms of low blood sugar at night, such as sweating, shaking, or waking up feeling hungry, require talking to your doctor about adjusting your medication dose or bedtime eating habits.
