Hello, my daughter has recently went back to injections. Although some of her readings have been ok, I am having problems with highs at around 10pm. For the past week her levels have been good at teatime (5pm) and at supper time (7.30pm) However when I check then at 10pm she is always around 12.I have not been correcting this as I know her sugars drop in the early hours. She has Detemir twice a day.
I am also finding that she is waking up high although there are times when she is lowish during the night and needs a small snack. The high levels in on wakening would suggest more insulin needing during the night, however I am put off giving more Detemir by the lowish levels that we have at around 2am/ 4am. The dsn has say that she needs less during the night and its the food that causes the rise on wakening, I'm not convinced as I'm only giving her 1 glucose tablet for a level of around 4.9 surely this wouldnt cause her to wake with a level of around 12/13?
Sorry if the post sounds a bit confusing, I am very confused by it all, it was all so much easier with the pump. Thanks Martina
