[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 636424, member: 45322"] The drop in overnight levels that you are experiencing is almost certainly down to incorrect basal. The overnight drops you see, would certainly give me drops in BG between meals too. I change my basal nearly every day because it is very sensitive to exercise and sometimes I can be ***** to exercise, sometimes not. So I need to be dynamic with my doses. In Gary Scheiner's Think Like a Pancreas book, his method of calculating and changing basal works perfectly for me. For every 1.6 mmol/l change in overnight levels, adjust your basal by 10%. Make sure that you don't eat or inject within 4 hours or so of going to bed. How this would work with split Levemir, is a bit beyond my experience sorry, as I use single dose Lantus. But I'd guess that maybe your total daily dose needs to reduce by the amount that comes out of the calculation. [/QUOTE]
