[QUOTE="derivadow, post: 2481568, member: 515468"] I’ve ended up going onto a pump (so that I can increase insulin from 3am). While I was on MDI I couldn’t find a way of sensibly controlling it, just increasing basal resulted in hypos every afternoon/ skipping along with jelly babies! So I woke up every night to give myself a bolus. Things that helped a bit: - eating earlier in the evening - main meal at lunchtime and smaller evening meal - low fat and protein evening meal. - adjusted when I injected basal insulin to minimise the afternoon basal bulge (I injected 7:30am and 8:30pm) But ultimately it wasn’t really sustainable. Sorry I don’t have a better answer. [/QUOTE]
