Hi there! Your blood sugar remains high despite taking medications regularly. This means your body may not respond well to the current medications. High blood sugars can cause symptoms like increased urination, feeling thirsty, and tiredness. You might need different medicines or adjusted doses. It's crucial to discuss this with your doctor to find a better way to control your sugar levels.

Night hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar in the evening, is complex. Being unable to wake up due to this is alarming. It happens when your sugar dips during sleep. You might need to alter your insulin doses or timing under medical supervision. Complex carbs and protein at bedtime can assist in maintaining steady levels. Monitor your readings carefully. Discuss any worries with your doctor.
