[QUOTE="azure, post: 877246, member: 39639"] I'm always more wary in the evening whatever insulin I've been on, especially late evening. Analogues can stil cause crashing hypos if you snack. So i try not to snack after say, 9pm ( I usually go to bed around 11pm). Ideally it'd be closer to 8pm. I then test after and just before bed. I also make sure I've bolused correctly and, if unsure,I have slightly less than I think I need. If I've had a major and/or late snack ( eg if someone got takeaway or chips or similar), I'd set an alarm to get up and test in the night. I used to do this for the Humalog too. I'd rather be safe and certain, and I don't like nocturnal hypos. Often, if I'm only having a small amount of chocolate, I find I can eat it without a bolus and without going too high, or I'll run up and down stairs or something a bit. Obviously, everyone's different and we all have to watch our BS, but I don't find the snacking any different with porcine in the pump than with Humalog. And I do love my snacks so I have lots! Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
