I personally wouldn't worry too much about that small spike at 1.30. The majority of the time your bg is fine. And you aren't running high for long periods of time, which is the thing that causes damage.The only other thing I'd say is, have you considered changing insulin? It sounds to me as if you are wanting more flexibility than the mixed insulin offers. You could try  moving to a regime where you take a long-acting insulin to cover the stuff your liver puts out in the background, and then individual injections of quick-acting alone to cover what you eat. It makes it much easier to avoid hypos that way, and much easier in my opinion to see what you are doing and make tweaks to get things how you want them. Eg I'm on Lantus (24 hours, no peak) and Humalog (very quick acting, starts to work after 10 mins and totally finishes after about 4 hours) and although I'm injecting several times a day I feel a bit more in control. May be worth thinking about.  (Apologies if I've misunderstood your insulin regime)</blockquote>
