[QUOTE="Jokeying, post: 700117, member: 142745"] I've been a Diabetic for best part of 32yrs and I'm ashamed to say I have never mastered my blood sugar from bedtime until morning time, I'm type 1 on Humilin Soluble three times a day ( Breakfast, Lunch and Tea ) and Humilin Isophane once a day before bed. My sugar levels are well controlled during the day right up to bedtime ranging anywhere from 4-8 generally before going to bed I'm between 5-7 but I can wake up in the morning quite often with blood levels of between 14-18, I have tried increasing my Isophane to see if that helps with no joy, I used to take 40-50 units of Isophane before bed but to give you an example i sometimes take 70-80 quite often so u can see how much I have increased my nighttime Insulin and if my sugar happens to be for example 10-12 approx going to bed it wouldn't be uncommon for me to take 4 units of my Humilin Soluble daytime insulin to try and keep my sugar on the 5-8 range. I eat my dinner every night at 7pm or as close to that time and it's not as if I'm eating massive meals full of carbohydrates I can't work out for love nor money how my sugar levels can rise so much. When I went to my yearly Diabetic appointment my blood test they do to check my averages was 7.0 so that tells u how well controlled I am through the day, I would appreciate any advice from you guys to try to get my night to morning levels a bit more respectable.
