[QUOTE="Debbie1*, post: 1199646, member: 212931"] Hi Akauist I don't usually comment on these forums but have seen enough to comment. You are obviously doing everything you can to manage your BGLs as a type one (as opposed to type two). Have you ever thought that this might not be your fault or infact not down to what you are eating. It seems your BGL's are higher in a morning and back to 'normal' expected T1 levels later in the day (but need to stay above 4mmol). I have[U] not read all your replies[/U] as I do not have time however, I would urge you to speak to your diabetes nurse and discuss [B]somogyi phenomenon and dawn response[/B] both of which could mean you have high fasting BGL's that reduce later in the day. The fact you are going to bed on lower numbers and having to eat to bring your numbers up makes me think that you could be having too much basal insulin and a resultant overnight low bgl. This is managed by your body as it produces glucagon to raise your BGLs whilst you sleep. The end result of this complicated process is that you wake up with high levels which often are difficult to reduce as they are compounded by food and other factors. Please seek professional help.
