Went to bed @ 10.8; woke up @ 9. I'm splitting my lantus dose starting tomorrow so I fully expect my numbers to be all over the place for the next 2/3 days. I just want to be within the normal range, **** it. :banghead:

Hi @mahola
I hope you don't mind but had a look back at your overnight readings, it seems to me that your current basal rate is already keeping you fairly stable over night ranging from 0.5 - 0.7...with the exception of last night anyway...but we all have the odd glitch ;). Is it the higher readings that are bothering you? If so you might be better to look at your insulin/carb ratio's or maybe discuss correction doses with your DN...rather than altering your basal...whilst I know there are a few that have...in general it's not usually recommended to split dose with Lantus so might be worth talking this over with your DN also. Hope you figure it out :)

I've spoken to my DSN this morning :) I'm using correction doses most nights before bed to try and keep my numbers down. Not working very well though it seems. :***:

Are you carb counting? Maybe it's your insulin/carb ratio that needs tweaking?
 
12.1 going to bed (I may have, slightly, over treated a hypo - 3.3, OJ, 3.1, more OJ, still 3.1, glucojuice, 12) + 3u correction (and then I thought correcting for my hypo treatment is probably a terrible idea, so I'll have some milk, not really sure why milk, something in my head was saying its a complex carb... the louder thing in my head was saying go to sleep) 5.3 on waking, more by luck than judgment probably!

5.6 at bedtime 6.8 this morning :)
 
4.6 before bed, 3.0 @6am might need to adjust the Lantus or have some carbs before sleep
 
4.1 mmol at bedtime and 6 mmol upon waking. Too much cake (of the high carb variety) for supper :-0
 
10.3 before bed - 17.3 this morning! I caved and had a Chinese take away! I'm raging at myself this morning!
 
Fell asleep at 6.8 and woke up at 7.3! My best night to date!

I have literally no idea how that happened. I think some weird stuff goes on when I'm asleep. :confused:
 
7.6 at bed ( plus 0.75u correction )

2.5 waking up followed by a 3.3 about 15 min ago ( with 20 carbs orange juice )
 
I'm so bad at this. Had a hypo yesterday afternoon and over-corrected, taking me to 9.4 an hour later. Had some pizza last night and went to bed on 11.3. Woke up to 17.9.
I have to be strict today...fingers crossed for better numbers tomorrow!
