[QUOTE="Sarebear86, post: 1438421, member: 93783"] I've always had a lot of problems with my basal insulin, and have been the same insulin to carb ratio for 3 years now with my bolus. It seems my liver likes to release a lot of glucose through the night as I was waking up in the 20's after going to bed with a reading of 6. After one dose of metformin at night, I was having hypos all through the next day! In the few weeks I've been taking it my basal has gone from 40u a night to 16u! It can upset my stomach so my GP has prescribed me the slow release ones as they don't have such a nasty effect on your tummy and has stopped the lows as well, I think it's always worth a try if it will help you bring your sugars down [/QUOTE]
