[QUOTE="mount, post: 2344693, member: 218483"] I don't usually post here but i have experience in this issue and its a nightmare ! The way i solved it was to get hold of a Libre or CGM for a month and look at my night sugars, print them off if you have to but you need to be looking at them all side by side. If you try to keep food consumption and timings constant you should start to see patterns over night when your sugars start to climb (at least i did). Once you know what a usual night looks like hour by hour then you can begin to take action. Sadly this is v hard with an injection delivery system because its not specific enough (I,.E you cant target a specific time in the night to release more insulin to combat the spike unless you keep getting up and doing it) what changed the game for me was a pump, i use the Omnipod because its all bluetooth with no wires. What this allowed me to do was program a background insulin delivery schedule which i could change to deliver more or less background at certain points. This enabled me to specifically target those sugar spikes with higher background and then pull back insulin delivery when i didn't need it. The best part is the pump does this all when you are asleep which enables better sleep and thus better sugar control because of the better sleep (its all connected) My final improvement was to start throwing in exercise which helped to flatten out the whole picture. It takes some time to get it beaten but once you do its brilliant to wake up and find your at 6 not 16 you probably all know this stuff but just thought it might help. Thanks [/QUOTE]
