[QUOTE="emma1972, post: 78325, member: 14119"] Hi Only just read your post, I am a 36year old front line police officer with type 1 diabetes. I was diagnosed at 36years old. I am a traffic officer and have retained my duties after some initial resistance. I used to take my Lantus at 10pm everynight as it fits with my shift pattern, however I had noticed that about 4 - 6 hours after taking it my levels used to drop before levelling out. I now take mine at 6pm every night so that if I do misjudge evening meal the lantus kicks in before bed and takes the edge off the high. I don't get many lows and am stable during the day without eating if necessary so I know I have the basal right. This may be happening to you as you wake up low, perhaps you could put it back a few hours so the low times in with your night time snack. I low carb and often eat protein rich meals. Meals that are high in lean proteins can trigger a response from your body to produce glucose, I don't know how it works but it does happen. It is best to take in some dietry fat with the protein (not too much) and the body does not respond in this way. Dont know if any of this is what you were looking for or is any use . Good luck.
