[QUOTE="Michey, post: 218946, member: 37361"] Thank you all so much for your replies. The information you have given me is so valuable. I really do think its a post code lottery sometimes and I promise to fight till the end, I won't give up. In the meantime I'm still going to work hard on my MDI regime as I don't know how long it will take to get the pump and its the next best thing. I've been keeping detailed diaries of everything I eat and any exercise I do etc. An interesting pattern is evolving! If I have quick acting close to bedtime, my levels are much better during the night. So last night I tried an experiment........ As always my sugars were normal before bed (7mmol) and I always eat dinner at least 4 hours before bed so most quick acting will be out of my system and i'll be running on background. I've been eating the same meal at dinner for weeks so GI, food release times will always be the same - roasted veg, chicken and new potatoes. I ate a bowl of cereal (measured) and injected some quick acting based on my evening ratio of 1:4. I tested at 2am - 5.5mmol I tested at 4am - 5.8mmol On waking at 7.30am 6.1mmol I was jumping around the bedroom!! The best levels throughout the night in years!! I'm trying not to get too excited, but I will try the same again tonight and see if it works. I'm pretty sure I suffer from Dawn P so hopefully this could be my answer. Fingers crossed everyone!
