What type of laser did you have? Was it for maculopathy or for proliferative retinopathy? It's quite common to have temporary blurring of vision after laser treatment but talk to your ophthalmologist about it. There is useful information if you follow these links:-

@Shadowkelsey1 if you're going to,bed at 5.3 and waking up at 13 that suggests either:

1. Your basal rate needs adjusting. Here's a guide on how to basal test - https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/ or
2. You are eating high fat meals that need a second bolus a few hours after eating when the carbs start acting. This is known as the pizza effect, if you want to google it.

I'd start off with basal testing over night. The point of a pump is to make sure the basal rate matches what you need at every hour of the day, so if it turns out you need more at 3am, the pump can do that for you and should be stopping you waking up high.

I've had laser in both eyes and now have what I like to call "jelly fish" in my vision apparently the laser can cause a lot of floaters and that's what I'm seeing, does that sound the same?
