[QUOTE="slbarron23, post: 1230440, member: 43671"] I have had type 1 for 4 years (I'm 26) and have always felt quite in control until lately. I have just returned to the UK from a year in Australia and can't quite get my blood sugars on track. I was having high BG on a morning so upped my background insulin which seems to have helped. However I keep being quite high on a night before bed - I correct and then find I'm hypoing 1-2 hours later around 1/2am. I then seem to always eat too much! I try to just have 4 jelly babies or 200ml of orange juice and 10-15g of regular carbs but wake up over 10 everyone this happens! I'm not really sure where to go from here. I carb count so don't know if for my evening meal I need to up my ratio? I just seem to be constantly swinging between high and low! Should I be treating a nighttime hypo the same as a daytime? (Accounting for the fact at night I am not active compared to during the day? Also I am not working since being back in the UK so am much less active - I thought the answer was upping my background insulin but unsure as to whether I need to change my ration instead for when I eat?
