[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 193631, member: 13451"] If your son is having hypos at around 12 to 2am then it's at least 2 hours before that which he needs the basal to be reduced, so around 10-11pm. You may need to compromise and have his basal from 9pm reduced, even if it means his BG rises slightly, so that he has a higher reading for the basal to work on between 12 and 2am. When I say a higher reading I don't mean excessively high but just slightly raised, maybe around 7-9mmol/l so that there is enough leeway for his BG to fall to no lower than 4 mmol/l between 12 and 2am. If you were to suspend basal on a temp basal at 1am it will only have a full effect on his BG around 3am (that's my experience with Jess, although your son may have different reaction times).
