What insulin dose is he taking at mealtime, are you carb counting and using a short acting ?My advice would be to make sure that he is eating at least 3 hours before bedtime so you can test him before bed, that way you are getting a good idea as to what his levels are like before sleep.  Also it's important you contact your DSN to get advice also, it's really important to avoid hypos at night time, so as soon as one happens you need to work out why, is it because he exercised/is taking too much short acting etc etc.Recording his readings with times, doses taken, type of insulin, food eaten etc is a good way to work out any patterns and helps you to adjust.I'm sure other members will also offer advice on this too <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
