Question from Miami, Florida, USA:

I am waking up with high sugar levels. If I wake up in at 2 or 3 a.m., my sugar level is normal, but, no matter what I do, in the morning the level is between 150 and 184 mg/dl [8.3 and 10.2 mmol/L]. Even if I don’t eat right away, my sugar keeps going up. What can I eat at night to maintain my sugar at a normal level? During the day, it seems fine. Currently, I am taking glipizide 100 mg (one tablet in the morning); Prandin 2 mg (one tablet, three times a day–before meals); Avandia (rosiglitazone maleate tablets) 8 mg (one a day–at dinner and one a day in the morning); Avalide (Ibesartan-hydrochlorothiazide) 300/12.5 mg (one a day–morning); hydrochlorothiazie (Microzide) 12.5 mg capsules (one a day–morning); and Lipitor 10 mg (one/half a day–morning).
