Relationship of nocturnal hypoglycemia to fasting and postprandial glycemia in diabetic patients / 中国糖尿病杂志

Observations were carried out in 10 moderately well controlled diabetic patients on their usual therapeutic regimens from 10Pm to 10Am on two days.On the control day,samples were obtained without intervention.On another day,nocturnal hypoglycemia was induced.Nocturnal hypoglycemia did not appear to cause clinically important fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia in diabetic patients.It is sug- gested that the morning hyperglycemia is not caused by Somogyi effect but dawn phenomenom.
