[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1272890, member: 17713"] I do not have breakfast. My levels will be normal 5-7 pre bed and till 4pm. They then start to climb. I used to drop hypo at 3am but sorted that out. At 4am everyday I have a pre waking bolus of 2 units. If levels have started to climb meter recommends probably1/2 unit so I give 21/2 units of bolus. Then at 8.30 I have to have a 4 unit correction bolus an hour before I get up. A basal shot increase at night really messes me up at 3am with hypo's. If I have my basal later than 5pm it impacts even more on 3am. My nurse did suggest adding another different extra basal shot in but its enough for me to cope with two pens and times, let alone 2 different basal shots. Changed hosp and got cgm funded for a while and hospital going to try me back on a pump. If I continue to have set failures then there is a chance of a diaport. Was better on pump for DP and waking but not with occlusions and hypers. Frustrating as tried tresiba, lantus, levemir and find Insulatard is better but extra waking and injecting means we don't ever get more than 4 hours sleep as hubby works permanent late shifts and very rare to go to slepp before 12.30am [/QUOTE]
