Whats the general consenus regarding peak time for levemir? Currently doing a split dose morning and evening. Attempting to reduce the 4am -mid morning BG climbs. I realise that it won't probably be possible to beat the dawn phenomenon without a pump but just reduce it would be good. I keep coming across conflicting info on the timing for levemir peaks. BG up to 4am ish is ok and steady enough so there is no rebound going on,
 
This is the graph I have used previously:

I only have quite small doses 5u before bed and i don't find there is a peak. HOwever, I find I can't take it earlier than 11pm otherwise I start to rise from about 5/6am onwards, so long as I take it at 11pm I'm ok. I then take my morning dose of 5/6u at 8am.
