[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2210957, member: 372717"] You shouldn't be going hypo at night if your Levemir (basal) dosage is correct. It is supposed to keep you steady throughout the night at whatever level you went to bed at. Talk to your nurse about this. It's definitely [I]not [/I]normal to go hypo at night. Plus, having to wake at 4am to have hypo treatment is bound to put stress on you and add as another reason for a high in the morning. Your liver pumps out sugar when you go low so it's very easy to overtreat a hypo and get a "rebound high". But your doctor is right, 3 months is very early in your diagnosis and things should get a lot easier once you have got your doses right and got used to the routine. Good luck, things should get much better. [/QUOTE]
