[QUOTE="dancer, post: 947487, member: 110569"] If you still get hypos through the night, your basal insulin dose must still be too high. As for how low you go, you would reduce by 2 units until your hypos stop. You shouldn't reduce daily but leave a couple of days anyway between reductions. Different sites do work in different ways. You can also use your midriff and buttocks (OK, bum, if you prefer!) Arms can also be used but I wasn't a fan and tended to go hypo. It's quite bad that you haven't been able to contact your nurse or consultant. Do you have a diabetic clinic you can contact? If your own nurse isn't available, they could let you speak to someone else. [/QUOTE]
