Any advice on stopping nighttime lows...usually
Around 2am. I take lantus and inject it at 1.30pm when
I also have my lunch. I have tried reducing the lantus
But didn't help Just made me go higher in the day.
Also tried having a bigger snack before bed but that
Can then have the opposite affect and make the levels too high! Any advice would be gratefully recieved!!

I currently take 21units of lantus. I have read a but about splitting doses??
 
Hi,
How long have you been diagnosed? I'm new so please take what I say with a pinch of salt! This has happened to me a couple of times, but at about 5am, I was down to 1.9 at one point as it didn't occur to me that the reason I felt really hot was due to a hypo. I am going through the so called "honeymoon" phase which is why I wondered how long you've been diagnosed. My DSN lowered my lantus and told me to further reduce it if it happens again. Also, perhaps think about what you have for a bedtime snack? There are loads of good suggestions on here. Good luck! I'm also trying to get on the level!!
