High Sugars

[Kacie1217]

I am a type one diabetic and I went to the Dr and he told me I had something but I dont remeber the name.I need to know what it is called when your sugar is normal and when you sleep your sugar drops and then your body releases glucagon to bring it up and it causes a spike in the blood sugar?

Are you talking about a rebound? A rebound happens if your sugar levels go dangerously low. Your body reacts by releasing glucose from your liver. You usually wake up high, because your liver over-compensate and the resulting high BGs are usually hard to get to go down.
