[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 933714, member: 30007"] Just to stick my oar in, I'm a huge advocate of split dosing, especially with Levemir, which at the doses you are using wears off quickly. I don't know your weight but for me with 0.14u per kg of body weight, I find that a 14u dose wears off in 12-14 hours. In your shoes I would suggest splitting your levemir dose to 6u in the evening and 6u in the morning (12 hours apart) and monitoring every couple of hours. If you then saw a flat profile overnight, you could address whether you are bolusing with the correct ratios. You could also look at the evening shot being taken at around 8pm to give you a chance to see how your bg levels were changing before bed. [USER=8799]@iHs[/USER] is right though. Going to bed that high is not a good thing and you do need to get your basal balanced to stop the massive drop over night and give you a much more comfortable level before bed. [/QUOTE]
