We must have often seen that whenever diabetic patients go to the doctor, they ask them to bring the morning blood sugar test report. Have you ever thought what is the real reason behind this? Why don't doctors conduct such tests in the afternoon, evening, or night? The glucose level increases in the morning, which is a regular process in our body. Let us know what happens between late night and early morning, due to which such results come out.
Such changes happen in the body in the morning
There are some hormonal changes in our bodies in the morning. Whether you have diabetes or not, your blood sugar level tends to increase. When not suffering from diabetes, the body secretes more insulin to balance many things. If there is diabetes and no matter how strict a diet chart you follow, the sugar level increases between dinner and breakfast, insulin does not work normally in the body of these patients. Growth hormones such as epinephrine, glucagon, and cortisol, which are released during the night, make your body's insulin resistance strong, which is sure to increase the sugar level.
3 major reasons for increasing blood sugar levels in the morning
1. You had taken more or less medicine.
2. Lack of sufficient insulin in your body the night before.
3. You must have eaten some sweet things just before sleeping.
What to do to control blood sugar?
If the blood sugar level increases in your body, then do not be negligent at all, because it increases the risk of many diseases like kidney disease and heart attack. Let us know what measures can be taken to control the glucose level.
