[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 355462, member: 17713"] My worrying thought is..... If you were a 'normal' 7 before bed instrmead of the 11 and you dropped line you did on the example you just gave... Then you would be in hypoland at 2-3 am.... And not in a good place.... So you need to stop your levels dropping and then rising overnight.....as odd as this seems there is a few ways to do this... One would be to eat a snack before bed... But you would have to do that constantly... And me... I could not do that.. The second choice to try would be to LOWER your basal by perhaps 2 units, but to increase your bolus with your evening eating. Now, this depends on a couple things too... What time you last bolus...and what your current readings are for tea time, 2 hours after and bedtime.... But this would personally be my choice to take. You will see some day levels go up... But this can be stopped by increasing your bolus's. I would advise though that I personally would not advise you to raise your basals if you are drifting downward at 2-3am.... [/QUOTE]
