[QUOTE="iHs, post: 821687, member: 8799"] Hi Jonathon Feeling thirsty and being tired is usually the warning sign of high bg levels. You are using twice daily insulin so to get yr bg levels to be a bit lower before bedtime, have a think about reducing the carb that you eat for yr eve meal rather than increase the eve dose. It might pay for you to do a bg test about 2-3am just to see what yr bg is as some people tend to have lower bg from midnight to 3am but bg rises a bit onward to the morning so you have to be careful on increasing the doseage due to the acting time as you dont want to go hypo while you are asleep. Do you try to keep to eating the same amount of carb in yr eve meals or do you vary? If you vary but only on certain days, then it might be possible to add a bolus pen to use as necessary. Have a chat with yr consultant. [/QUOTE]
