[QUOTE="mo1905, post: 593674, member: 55195"] Hi and welcome to the forum. There are a couple of reasons why your levels in the morning are typically 3 or 4mmol higher than bed time reading. It could be dawn phenomenon ( Google it ) or it could be that your basal is too low and your levels are creeping up overnight. Have you tried a daytime basal test ? Ensure all QA insulin is out of your system then take BG levels every hour. This is best done on a day you can skip a meal, if not, have a zero carb meal if poss. Try and do this for 5-6 hours if poss. If your BG levels remain fairly stable, it's about right. If levels start to steadily rise, your basal is too low, and vice versa. [/QUOTE]
