If you have diabetes and your blood glucose readings are consistently higher or lower than your target, or if you get a reading that is unexpectedly high or low, this could indicate a problem. Discuss with your health care team in advance what you should do if your readings are way off scale. If you detect patterns in your glucose levels that indicate a need to adjust your plan, let the team know. For example, you may find that your blood glucose levels tend to be high when you check in the morning. This could be because your body is “rebounding” from a very low blood glucose level while you sleep. Try checking your blood around 3 a.m. If you discover hypoglycemia, treat it as you normally would.
