[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 404807, member: 11028"] Well if you insist on supper and your bg goes high then it's logical that you need insulin to cover the carbs in your food, going to bed with high bg readings and staying their all night is not good in the long-term. Your DN's concern will be with injecting quick-acting insulin before bed and the potential to go hypo in your sleep, you could try a smaller portion of cereal or alternatively eat foods where the carb content isn't too high and you [b]may[/b] get away with not injecting, can't say for certain and the only way of knowing is by testing postprandial. Have you tried eating your tea later in the evening so that your not as hungry before bed?....like you I use to eat supper but stopped this and now just eat 3 meals a day, found it much easier to keep the weight off by doing so and have almost eliminated night hypo's .
