{Sunday Survey} Nighttime Corrections

$

Last week I asked:

Would you send your child to day camp?

This week I have a question about high blood sugars.

Our endo and CDE are always telling us not to give corrections for high blood sugars at bedtime or in the night.

Our overnight basal is set to keep our daughter even through the night (as it should), so if she’s high at bedtime, she will likely be high at breakfast. And I fear that 8 or 9 hours above range will wreak havoc on her A1c.

So my question this week is:

Do you correct for high blood sugars at bedtime or in the night?

Nighttime Blood Sugars

Survey Results: 49% of respondents said they do correct for high blood sugars in the night, but give a smaller amount of insulin. Another 42% said they give the full amount based on the blood sugar. Less than 9% don’t give any insulin for high blood sugars at night.

I’d love for you to leave a comment about how you deal with bedtime and overnight high blood sugars.

Have an idea for a Sunday Survey? Please let me know.
