[QUOTE="fergus, post: 99244, member: 6150"] It does sound like a case of the honeymoon period Jonesy. A bagel on top of a bg of 8.2 would send me into orbit and his bg of 16 sounds pretty predictable. Dropping to 5 after the bagel suggests he either still had a significant level of injected insulin in his system at the time, or his pancreas decided to get busy again. Generally, waking up in the 5's is good, but I wouldn't recommend going to bed as high as 9-10. That's a pretty toxic blood sugar and getting it down to 5 overnight needs a lot of insulin, more than just a basal dose. If the basal is set right, going to sleep and getting up in the morning could both be in the 5's. The unpredictability of honeymooning is difficult to manage, but hopefully things will settle soon. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
