High morning bg results

It could be dawn phenomenon. Your basal is not sufficient i think. Do basal testing throughout night & check when your BG starts rising... If its stable till 3 a.m. & then starts rising its dawn phenomenon. If overnight there is a steady rise, it could be due to the high protein content of your supper or gluconeogenesis not suppressed by insufficient basal.

ask your Dr, I'm T2 and can't advise.. but my guess is to do a 3am test and see if high or low...when was the last time you did a basal test?

May well be you need to increase your lantus, try increasing it by 1 unit tonight and do some bg testing 2 hourly, if i's still raised increase it again by another unit.

 

No not necessarily, try it and see how you get on, if that doesn't work talk with your DSN about split-dosing your lantus or switch to another insulin if it becomes problematic, there's a new basal insulin available called Tresiba that might be better suited for you.

 

miss lunch and do an afternoon basal test, you may be using bolus to cover lack of basal?

 

Probably an obvious answer but have you considered going on a pump?

 

Highly unlikely if bg is stable during the day, the OP would have to be taking correction doses pre-prandial if that was the case.

 

Just make sure to have a low-fat meal for your dinner tonight as a high-fat meal can effect bg levels several hours later, the pump suggestion is a good one, we have had many members lately switching from MDI to insulin pumps with great success.

 

this is why I linked you in the Turkish guys post, you know what you are talking about.
the reason why I suggested an afternoon bolus was because she was scared she would hypo in day if she increased basal..
it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone but I'm lost if a tea time basal is not enough and high over night, but right dose during the day. your suggestion of split dose might be it

 

For some lantus doesn't cover a 24 hour period, split-dosing gives a greater coverage with some overlap, I take lantus once daily and find it does work for 24 hours but with other people it doesn't.
