Hi there,
I've posted on here before about going low during the night - I was just wondering how people set themselves up for the night? More specifically people on lantus or levemir? Am I right in thinking that lantus/levemir will bring down the BG level by approx 1 unit every hour?
I currently use 18 units of levemir at 6pm but am finding that I'm waking up with high BG levels which suggest I've been crashing during the night and my body has been bringing the levels back up but too much.
E.g. - Level before bed - 8.8
Level first thing in the morning - 16
I've checked my overnight levels before - they seem to be ok - the mid-night levels are around 6 so it seems like it is going too low overnight and I'm not waking up.
What sort of levels do people usually go to bed on?
Thanks,
Adrian
