[QUOTE="TashT1, post: 2342614, member: 526953"] I’ve been struggling more with control the past couple of weeks. I’ve gone from time spent in range 80% of the time to 50% this week. I’m adjusting my basal & trying to iron out my carb ratios to get things back in control but the one thing I don’t have a clue about is this random 3am spike. Normally I enjoy lovely steady readings throughout the night. I could go to bed on 5 or 6’s, test in the night & be the same & still wake up on 6. It’s not uncommon for me to stir at 2/3am, scan & go back to sleep. But for the last 3 nights I’ve woken up at 3am, tested & it’s at 10. I drink a couple of glasses of red wine most nights so I don’t know if this is suddenly having an impact, but I thought that would cause BG levels to go down rather than up. It’s been a stressful couple of weeks, my levels could be running high for 10 different reasons during the day. With it being at night I’m thinking it’s a basal issue. I take 18u of Lantus at around 6am on a weekday, this ordinarily lasts the full 24hrs, but can that change overtime? I’ve got a call in to my diabetes team so should hear from them on Monday. I plan to do a basal test tonight. But any thoughts in the meantime? [/QUOTE]
