[QUOTE="ert, post: 2291052, member: 504712"] I'm sorry you're having a difficult time. I recommend that you write down at least four days of data and email it to your diabetes nurse or specialist. Record your waking, bedtime, before breakfast, lunch and dinner finger-prick blood values. As well as a food CHO diary, and insulin timing and doses. They will get to the bottom of this if you give them a chance. It does look like your background insulin is worth checking with your hypos overnight. That will be the first thing they usually get you to check by having a carb-free meal. They will also advise you on your CHO ratio for your different meals (different ratios for different times of the day) and dietary advice; and the dawn phenomenon where your liver pumps out sugar for your day as you put your feet on the floor. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
