[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1062314, member: 30007"] There is rather a lot of evidence that what you describe, otherwise known as the Somogyi effect, doesn't really exist and is the result of expiring basal and dawn phenomenon. Given the timing of your Lantus dose, this is the more likely answer to your conundrum. You say that your graph through the night is steady and that you only get this issue if you don't test before bed. I assume you are using a Libre? Testing doesn't have an impact on glucose levels, so what is more likely is that either your basal is running out in the night or your pre-bed bolus is having an effect for longer than you were expecting. I don't know how long you've been diagnosed, but if it is still relatively recently, your pancreas could also be playing tricks on you... [/QUOTE]
