I wouldn't usually do a basal test in the morning, but I wanted to see whether my breakfast insulin was partly being used to cover DP and, therefore, whether I can truly use the normal insulin:carb ratio. For example, if I usually eat 50g of carbs and inject 10 units, is some of the insulin being used for the carbs and some for the DP. I think maybe it is and therefore I can't always rely on a ratio of 5, eg if I ate 100g carbs for breakfast and injected 20 units, it might be way too much. Does that make any sense?I have tested my basal overnight and it seems to keep me steady until 6am if I have a small snack before bed. If I inject less basal and don't have a small snack, I go sky high in the morning. Diabetes is so complicated and I don't have the brain power to work it all out! Thanks everyone for your replies.</blockquote>
