[QUOTE="ert, post: 2447096, member: 504712"] Welcome. Type 1 is a lot to process. It sounds like you've hit the ground running. As you are type 1, you should be looked after by a specilaist and diabetes nurse team at the hospital. Ask for their phone numbers and email and try to organise some phone calls, daily if necessary. You should record a diary of your blood sugars waking, bedtime and before your meals (5 times). Also list your foods, carbohydrates and insulin doses and times. Email them the information and get some feedback. (GP's look after type 2's.) If you like courses, this is a good one: [URL]https://www.bertieonline.org.uk/[/URL] Re: high sugars overnight - How high exactly? Are you splitting your Levemir dose? I'm on Levemir. You may have to test your basal in the first instance to see if your Levemir dose is correct. I do this by eating a low carb dinner and recording my bedtime blood sugar and waking blood sugar. If these are the same, then my nighttime dose is correct. [/QUOTE]
