[QUOTE="fletchweb, post: 1570103, member: 318202"] I think it's pretty normal to have the most difficult time with early morning and waking morning BG levels. I've always had troubles with this and I've been living with Type 1 for a very long time. It takes a lot of time and experience to figure out the best solution so don;t get too frustrated. You seem to have a greater sensitivity to insulin than I do as 2 units doesn;t seem to make a whole lot of difference with me. Anyway - the approach I took with high morning BG levels was to take tiny steps - so where I used to wake up with BG levels of around 16 - instead of shooting between 4 - 8 I just try to keep it below 16, than 15, than 14, than 12, than 10. Over about a year of slight adjustments I managed to get it down within a normal range most of the time - it did require tweaks to my insulin dosage and diet but I was able to do it because I took my time and did it in small steps. I find Doctor's tend to want immediate results and place that expectation on their patients - try to avoid those type of expectations if you can. [/QUOTE]
