[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2122382, member: 372717"] Have you talked to your clinic about this? Some possible reasons for the higher blood sugar 1) Too little lantus - do some basal testing to see how much you need. 2) dawn phenomenon - your liver dumps sugar first thing in the morning to hekp you get up and go and it doesn't realise you don't produce the insulin to process it. 3) You're actually going low in the night and this is a rebound because your liver dumped sugar to combat the hypo. 4) Lots of fat in your evening meal (I love cheese but I have to be very careful with it) and it's slowed down the processing of the meal's carbs so that they are hitting in the middle of the night 5) You take lantus in the morning and it doesn't quite last 24 hours. Last time I had this issue my clinic lent me a cgm for a week and I kept a food/insulin diary. They were able to adjust my doses and ratios accordingly and I actually ended up reducing my lantus!
