[QUOTE="Deleted member 527103, post: 2644756"] Could well be that your evening NovoRapid dose is not high enough. I would be nervous about increasing your Lantus if it is ok during the day, especially if you see the rise every evening. There some times seems to be an assumption that carb counting at the start will be too much for us. However, this can cause more problems unless we eat very similar meals every time. I remember a nasty hypo when I was on fixed doses and had quiche and salad for lunch instead of sandwiches. As a starter, you may find it helpful to keep a note of the carbs in your meals so you can see (and share) the variation with your nurse. This will be be useful to compare with you nights when your BG goes higher. It is definitely not the right thing to try to use Lantus to make up for the lack of NovoRapid. At first, this could be a bit of a pain to check packets or Carbs and Cals app but it soon gets easier. [/QUOTE]
