[QUOTE="Westley, post: 2647581, member: 254425"] What basal are you on? I think timing the doses can help [I]a little[/I] with DP. Not much, because basals usually have a fairly flat peak compared to the speed of the dawn glucose rise, but with the shorter duration of Levemir I find taking my second dose just before bed can slightly reduce it compared to doing it earlier in the day. Some people find eating even a very small amount of something non carby soon after waking can help stop the liver dumping glucose, as it realises the the body is being fed and it can calm down. Also, if I was consistently going high at the same time like that and for that long I think I'd up the waking bolus dose even if it meant needing a mid morning snack to prevent lows later. [/QUOTE]
