Message: <blockquote data-quote="randomange" data-source="post: 86811" data-attributes="member: 14239">If you're staying fairly stable overnight, it sounds like you just need to go to bed on a better number and you should wake up the same, so maybe it's more your daytime or your insulin:carb ratios that need changing?I have the opposite problem, in that my daytime levels are mostly ok, and I've tested and I stay pretty level if I don't eat. However, this did involve me changing my insulin:carb ratios. I also cannot get stable levels overnight. I can go to bed on a somewhat ok number, and I wake up a lot higher. The increase in insulin hasn't really had any effect on my weight, but then I think I've been eating less. I think I'm the same as you in that I'm a bit sensitive as to how much insulin is too much! It just seems like such a huge increase, and I think that's what's getting to me. And mostly, I think it's the increase in insulin:carn ratios that is bugging me the most. I'm pretty much at the top end of what Dafne recommends. I've spoken to my DSN about it, and she's not sure why I would need *so* much more insulin, but isn't particularly concerned. She has said, though, that there's no reason why I can't switch back to lantus if I'm still feeling so stressed about it. I said I'll give it another couple of days and see what happens.I hope you manage to get things settled down.</blockquote>
