[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1365131, member: 240838"] I'm thinking the apple was not a good snack especially without a bolus and at night if you were less active. Try something fatty like nuts or nut butters. Even a slice of apple with a little peanut butter COULD be better. The fat will slow the carbs down but be careful, pb is fairy high carb. Looks like you're staying pretty steady, you just need to bring down your set point a bit. Having more of a fat snack before bed should help you have a better fasting and the rest of the day should stay lower. If I wake up higher than I like I stay higher all day. I can counter this with a small correction about an hour after I finish eating. Do you have a half unit pen? Great for small corrrections and little fear of hypo. I would talk to your team about allowing you take a small bolus for snacks. Especially carbs ones. I don't need to bolus for a few nuts or olives but I would go sky high with an apple and certainly would need insulin. [/QUOTE]
