[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2137243, member: 372207"] I agree with [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] , you may want to look at your basal insulin. Often people typically use about as much long acting or basal in a day as they use quick acting insulin. It's not a rule, and it can be way different for individuals. In your case, you take a lot more mealtime insulin with your ratio of 1 unit to 5 or 5 grams carbs than your 13 units of basal. Also, some people find they need to split their basal because not all basals work for the full 24 hours, making bg go up in the hours before the next dose. This is especially true for Levemir, but many find the same effect for Lantus. [/QUOTE]
