[QUOTE="Ambersilva, post: 947488, member: 43736"] Hello, We are not qualified to advise you on insulin doses. The doctor was correct in telling you to inject less of the slow release insulin at night. A dose of 30 is quite a lot of insulin. So you lowered the night dose last night and still went hypo. Lower the dose more tonight to about 20 or even less. You can always inject more than 20 tomorrow night if your blood sugar level is higher than recommended in the morning. It is better to be a little too high than too low. As a guide I am a small 9 stone lady and I inject 12 units of slow acting insulin in the thigh at night. Set your alarm to wake up around 2 or 3 in the morning to measure your blood sugar level. Have some sugar or glucose at your bedside in case you are low. [/QUOTE]
