[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1242530, member: 295621"] Good morning :) Have a look here for some BG target range advice: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html[/URL] Ideally, your BG upon waking should be the same as before bed. You can allow yourself some flexibility though as no-one's BG profile is linear. I think the book "Think Like A Pancreas" suggests that BG differential between going to bed and waking should be within 1.7mmol/L. Providing your basal insulin is set correctly then there should be no need for light snacks with or without bolus insulin before bed. This will help you fine tune your basal insulin: [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] It's worth remembering that bolus insulin is working up until around 5hrs after injecting. So if you have a late dinner or supper, your BG could still be falling long after you go to sleep. This may cause a delayed nocturnal hypo. I hope I've answered something here, it's tricky reading posts on my phone with the current site issues. Cheers:) Grant [/QUOTE]
