[QUOTE="slip, post: 1559249, member: 182669"] Something's not quite right here. If your unusual 15.something before bed results in a 7.something in the morning, it's not down to a high fat previous evening meal, surely (everyone feel free to shoot me down, correct me or what ever!) if you had a high fat meal and bolus accordingly at the time, you'd find you'd go lowish before bed or ~2hrs after injecting (the insulin working quicker than the carbs are absorbed) and higher during the night (as the carbs are finally absorbed and the bolus insulin runs out). The initial reaction to this scenario is to assume you have too much basal, but as you say other nights you stay level overnight. Perhaps it is the honeymoon and your pancreas kicking in over night when you do go to bed high. BTW taking basal and bolus insulin together isn't a problem, the basal's there to keep you level, the bolus to cover a meal and/or as a correction for a high. They won't affect each other unless you inject them in the same area - a bit like mixing your drinks, try and keep the injection sites well apart. [/QUOTE]
