[QUOTE="Hannah1987, post: 409860, member: 74898"] I was told for my lg who is 4 upto 20g carbs is fine for snacks/supper - but she was shooting up at night too. we did a few night readings when long lasting should of been at the peak so should be dropping down & likely times to hypo but my lg even without supper would be in the 20's! she doesnt follow the norm pattern of what should happen & her randomness has no pattern to it either & she been diagnosed 1.5yrs & baffling the consultants & nurses - it is trial & error working out what dose of insulin you actually need in relation to what ratio you are on. Recently changed from lantus to levemir on 2 injections & she seems hungrier than ever & readings still high. they normally say leave 12hrs between but with her being high in night we been told to bring 8pm one to 5pm to see if that helps her - otherwise will have to change fast insulin of novarapid to even faster reacting one. everybody is different & can't compare to one another as we all react differently. good luck & hope they find your right dosage soon =) [/QUOTE]
