Message: <blockquote data-quote="ljwilson" data-source="post: 269969" data-attributes="member: 20552">I got my last HBA1c result last week, 7.9 so a bit high.  I saw my diabetic nurse and we decided it is because I am waking up with very high levels, in the high teens.  We have concluded that this is due to my liver dumping and she has suggested eating porridge before bed, which I am now doing and is seem to be working.  I am trying to lose weight and would rather reduce my insulin but she is against this.  I currently take 24 units of Levemir twice a day and approx 60 units of Humulin S throughout the day, which dose should I be reducing to prevent my lows in the middle of the night?Also, I am not convinced that my liver is dumping, if I wake up and my level is say for example 8 if I do not take my Humulin S pretty much straight away then my levels will shoot up in to the high teens without me eating anything.Lorna</blockquote>
