[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1721305, member: 53162"] Hi Sue, it's a good idea to test before bed, personally my evening routine consists of eating early so by bedtime (approx 3.5 hours later) any quick acting is out of my system then test before bed, correct with quick acting if necessary and then test upon waking - I try to ensure my bedtime reading and waking result are within around 1mmol/l of each other which tells me my background insulin dose is fine. If i was waking at 2am to do a night time test and was running above 9mmol/l then I would consider this high and would warrant taking a correction dose for, particularly if my bedtime reading was in range at say 6mmol/l, however on an ongoing basis I would also increase my basal dose too to prevent this from continuing. As you've not taking a bolus for 2 weeks how are you correcting if you're running high ? and what are your daytime readings like ? [/QUOTE]
