Did I read that you always take the second Levemir dose at 10 pm? What time is the hypo?
It might be worth changing the times so you get the hypo out of the way before you go to sleep, and then you could, maybe, increase the night time Levemir dose a bit, so that might have a knock on effect of reducing the Dawn Phenomenom a bit.
I use Levemir and Novorapid, I just switched from Lantus, and quite like it. I inject about 8 am and 8 pm, and in the evening there is a dip about 2 hours after I take it, but that's at 10 pm, so I can correct it before I go to sleep, or at least make sure it doesn't dip too low.
Before, when I took Lantus, it was dipping about 4 hours after I took it, which was about midnight, and it kept me awake sorting it out, the Levemir still has a dip, but it's at a much more convenient time.
This might seem like just a small thing, but I find it much more convenient to get the night time peak out of the way before I go to sleep.
