[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 635457, member: 13582"] To follow Spiker please explain taking your bolus 2 hours after your meal? If that's what you are doing that's quite strange; ordinarily one would take it before or with the food. Other couple of thoughts; your morning ratios may be different to your evening? I need much less insulin to carb in the evening. Perhaps you could do with taking more bolus in the morning? I assume that you are taking the bolus even for 'no carbs' foods like bacon and eggs? You'll need to; see Sam on the 'Chinese Restaurant Effect'. Lantus never agreed with me; it certainly didn't last 24 hours; perhaps swap to Levimir and split the dose? I'm a bit worried about you saying you don't have time to test a suspected hypo! That's crazy; if you may be hypoing that takes precedence over everything. You know; better safe than dead and all... Lastly, it's unlikely to be a rebound high; those, if they happen at all would be very high (think 20's rather than 8's). Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
