[QUOTE="chrisbug, post: 2511837, member: 532065"] Hi, I've had to do some trial and error to get my night-time routine down. I normally creep up at about 2-3 am. This could be to do with my sleep pattern, I'm often on call for work and have disruptive sleep. And the only way that I can make it work for me is to take 2 units of bolus at bedtime in addition with my basal. This does depend on my BG at bedtime, if my BG is around 5mmol/L, I'll set an alarm for 1-2 hours time. The occasions I haven't followed this routine I'll wake with a BG above 10mmol/L. If I up my basal by as little as half a unit, I have too many lows during the day. It's a bit of a pain, but it works for me. I hope you find a system that works for you. [/QUOTE]
