[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2284507, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=512570]@MarkHaZ123[/USER] I find after a heavy work out that I have to make sure my BG levels are above 8/9 before bed and reduce my basal, during the night is when your levels will fall to their lowest around 2-3am. After exercise depending on the intensity, muscles will need to repair which requires glycogen, in a resting state your body goes into maintenance mode hence the need for glucose during the night. If you feel unsure about whether you're ok for sleep during the night then set an alarm around 2am so you can catch it in time, also make sure you keep glucose next to your bed within easy reach, I keep a tub of glucotabs under the bed so I only have to reach down to get it, hypos can cause confusion and waking in a sweating confused state and staggering downstairs is no fun :eek: [/QUOTE]
