The Somogyi phenomenon (rebound hyperglycemia) occurs when the blood glucose level is lowered to the point at which the body's counter-regulatory hormones are released, producing the symptoms described.

Glycosylated hemoglobin reflects glycemic levels over a period of months. Levels of 6 to 9 represent good metabolic control.
