[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1199759, member: 211362"] Ok, so you wake up on 13.2? That is a high reading and it's unlikely you'd hypo on 10 units of basal insulin. The basal is to cover the day and it wouldn't really deal with spikes from your meals... your metformin and gliclacide would do that. If you're going up during the day it's because the basal is wearing off. They will obviously monitor you and if your sugars aren't coming down they may adjust your dosages, etc. I'm not sure what your diet is like but that could be a factor for you as well. [/QUOTE]
