The Cure for Night Time Highs?

I'm embarrassed to admit that I still struggle with night time hypos. Ever since I was a kid, nighttime highs have messed with my HbA1c and damper my otherwise perfect endo visit. 
​Correcting for hyperglycemia at night is challenging too. It is like my body does not absorb the insulin until I wake up and start moving, often plummeting low within minutes of waking up. Then you begin playing the catch-up game, all day all night weeks on end. Its why so many of us get burnt out on diabetes.
 So what to do? Yoga teaches us that if you want a different effect, you need to change the cause. I did not know the source of my night time 
highs, so I came up with a lot of hypotheses:

Incorrect bolus to carb ratio

• Slow ass digestion
• The auto suspend of my pump makes me spike later on
• I need to eat slower, earlier, less food at night
• Basal rates

The list goes on…. 
I have tried so many things over the last 21 years that worked for a while but then stopped working. Until I tried this latest thing and….IT IS WORKING. I do not want to jinx it or claim this to be the fix for everyone, but it has been working SO WELL for me. I have to share it with you. I have not had a single night time high in two months, and subsequently, I have avoided a lot of lows too. 

Check out my tips about how to actually do this with type 1 diabetes. My biggest tip is skip it if you are going low! BG comes first.
