My husband, age 81 yrs. is a diabetic. For months, he has woken at dawn because of acute feelings of hunger, weakness, and discomfort. He arises, makes a cereal, etc, eats and returns to bed. He is diligent in checking his blood daily, several times and averages 5 I.U. insulin (70-30) which stabilizes him. In these
dawn events, he tests his blood sugar, which is within normal limits...we have no idea why this happens. He finishes eating about 10 p.m, with a dessert on the previous evenings.
Are his nutrient distribution organs failing in some way? He has also had a cancer diagnosis last year,
with resulting therapies (prostate type with metastases to thoracic spine) and is in remission, and being checked periodically.
Please advise...he can't be the only diabetic in the world with this condition. We need an answer.
