[QUOTE="Deleted member 99312, post: 2361655"] My numbers are almost always good upon waking, the only time they aren't is if I made a miscalculation the previous evening, but this is rare. I already give a correction dose if the numbers are higher than ideal. Breakfast eating nothing at all, or eating only zero carb, both can result in a rise of up to a few points. Not always though, sometimes there is no change. I already pre-bolus early, I could do so even earlier I suppose, but it would be difficult for practical reasons and I doubt it would be a magical bullet. See a previous post above where I took 10u this afternoon 50 minutes before eating, and it still wasn't enough to prevent a rise. I'm taking the basal before bed. I have no way of knowing when it runs out exactly, but I should be able to assume it is still very much working in the morning, and indeed I know it is because when I have tried increasing it, it results in consistent lows in the morning, and I also found myself regularly dropping steadily through the day if I didn't eat anything regularly.
