[QUOTE="smc4761, post: 593198, member: 119069"] Hi folks, After years of not bothering to look at diabetic forums, decided to have a look around and this forum does seem very helpful. I have had Type 1 for almost 35 years now, and still do not know enough about the condition. Over the past 6 weeks or so after a visit to the dietician and diabetic clinic, I have probably started to look at monitoring my BG levels and have got a bit of a shock if i am honest I inject Humalog at meals typically 3 times a day, and a dose of Lantus around 10pm, bedtime. I have really been watching what carbohydrate I have been eating and adjust my insulin accordingly. Most BG are not too bad typically 7-9, slightly high I know. There does however seem to be no real pattern to my morning BG reading Typically when I do a test at 10 pm just before my Lantus my bg is around 6. The last time I eat is usually around 6.30 pm When I get up and test about 7 am some morning my BG can be 11 plus others its still around 6/7 despite there being no difference to my routine. More often than not it rises by about 3 or 4 points. As I say though there is no pattern to this. Anyone have any thoughts, the dietician at clinic was unsure about this Thanks [/QUOTE]
