People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
In which case you need to split your basal as suggested by @tim2000s yesterday. As you needed to eat again during the night this indicates that perhaps 5 units are needed at night. However, you must give yourself some basal in the morning...
Tim is very good. His help sorted me out fantastically.
You cannot lower your evening basal more if you are not going to give yourself the morning basal.
Tim knows how basal profiles work... He suggested a basal this morning but you have done your own thing and ignored... If you wish to stop your levels lowering at night and stop the rises during the day you must split the dose of levemir. It is very important.
We will talk to you further how you can basal test etc but theres no point in running before you walk.
If you're at Uni then you are bright and can master this as much as your studies and I believe you want to do so.
I know you are seeing your nurse so you are going to have to balance DSN opinion against ours and weigh up options. We're only speaking as experienced persons who have also fought off night hypo's and rollercoasters that can happen.
We will support you all the way but I think if you are advised by an experienced diabetic that has really analysed the profiles of various insulins and how they work etc that you can't just not follow his guidelines...
