[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2315338, member: 68789"] Hi [USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER], it’s possible that if you’d underestimated the carbs in your evening meal you’d still have had some Humalog in the system, and a little more than is still active at 4 hours post meal. That would explain the low, not the Lantus, and your liver dumping glucose to help counteract the low blood sugars would explain why you then rose to double figures?
