[QUOTE="Omar101, post: 585197, member: 97999"] The nurses recommendation of 15 units is much too high for you it seems, cutting it down to 14 wont do much considering how low you are dropping over night. I would reduce it to 10 or 8 and take note of your bg difference over night and adjust your levemir accordingly, just make sure you don't have any novorapid in your system over night and try not to have novorapid for at least 4 hours before bed so you can be sure that any bg changes are due to levemir. Like someone said; at the moment you should try and maintain a higher bg level before bed at around 8. I would only do this for a time until you get your basal stable and can confidently go to bed with levels around 5. It is very possible to go to bed with normal non-diabetic levels and be safe if you have great control of your basal but until then you need to be careful and unfortunately run your levels slightly higher. If you need any more help just reply to me here :) . [/QUOTE]
