[QUOTE="G2ADY, post: 461714, member: 89655"] Hi Miss90, Are you on Basal / Bolus? If so, try to reduce your Basal slightly, as others have said aim to go to bed slightly high ( 7 or 8) and record your blood sugar figure before going to bed. Try to not give yourself any bolus at least 4 hours before bedtime. In the morning check your bloods and see where they are in comparison to what they were when you went to bed. If they are lower then reduce your basal further the next night, if they are slightly higher i.e 1.5 mmols higher then I'd leave the basal units as they are. Obviously if your morning bloods are a lot higher then consider increasing your basal slightly. Night time lows are something that all of us are worried about. The problem we have is that sometimes our endocrinology does things that mess up even our best efforts. Hope you get on top of it :) Steve [/QUOTE]
