[QUOTE="Dazphoenix28, post: 2332970, member: 531170"] Well I was considering moving my basal from 10pm to 6-8pm. My bloods always tend to fall before bed or during sleep regardless of basal dosage. When I was on 16 units I was seeing more unstable pre and post meal readings. Which ment I needed far more correction doses as after 3-4 hours my bloods wouldn't come down from 9 to 4-7. And if I did increase my bolus by 1 unit for each meal it would result in a hypo about 1-2 hours after eating. My ratios are 2:10 morning, 1:10 lunch and for dinner 1:10 +1 extra unit to counter the rise as my lantus wears off around 1-2 hours before 24 hours and it seems to work for me. I've also missed lunch a few times to see what happens and my levels stay flat lined from 4-6 for 5 or so hours until I eat again. But I can't decrease my basal because I'll end up going higher than 7-8 pre meals and 9- 11 ish post Meal. 17 units of lantus seems to keep my levels stable but my diabetic nurse mentioned that I'm getting switched over to a longer acting basal that lasts 36 hours and she mentioned it doesn't drop throughout the night like lantus.
