Thank you for asking question.
first thing you not mention you check your night blood sugar just after food or after some time of food.
if it taken just after your dinner it can be higher. so donot worry. but if you check your blood sugar level after 2 hr receiving dinner than check your Glycosylated hemoglobin. In diabetes mellitus, higher amounts of glycosolated hemoglobin, indicating poorer control of blood glucose levels. so need to readjust your medicine.
Therefore to consult your doctor for glycosolated hemoglobin
