[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1676535"] Sounds like a classic case for a pump so you can alter your basal just before your DP starts. If that is not an option, have you tried increasing your basal AND going to bed with a slightly higher BG to counteract the fall? For example, (before pumping) I used to aim to go to bed between 7 and 8 with a basal dose that gave me a BG of about 5.5 when I woke. I confess this was before there was an option of a Libre so I did not have details of what was happening whilst I was asleep although my body wakes itself when my BG goes above 10 or below 3. Another thought is whether your night time hypos were really hypos. Are you taking the value just from your Libre or are you waking and taking a finger prick reading? Others have mentioned their Libre reads low during the night and is something do with pressure as you lie on it causing it to under read. If you have all the hypo symptoms and a finger prick reading, just ignore that last bit. [/QUOTE]
