[QUOTE="CranberryIce, post: 1768922, member: 472213"] Anyone know how I am meant to do a basal test between 6am-12pm if I wake about 6.30am and get hit by the dawn phenomenon. Today my bloods were nicely in range upon waking 4.3 (6am). As I intended to do a basal test I gave my morning dose of Lantus at my usually time of 7.30am (by then I was getting readings around 7mmol. By 8am my blood sugars had risen to 8 (no food, no Novorapid). I sooo wanted to correct this but also wanted to see how high my bloods would peak. By 10am the rise started slowing down and I am now just below 10 (9.9). Arghhhhh :(. This is so frustrating. I know on another thread a member posted that they give some units of quick acting on waking to stop/beat the peak. How many units would I give then? Any help would be appreciated! x [/QUOTE]
