[QUOTE="Isobel94, post: 396548, member: 68605"] I suppose whatever way you can pull yourself up out of bed, do it! Though the situation can be worsened when you have your partner beside you in bed, groaning at the obscene 3 a.m alarm... mind you, I really don't blame him :thumbdown: Once I spend a few sleepless nights jabbing myself in the finger, usually two or three, I'm sorted :wink:. I find I don't have to have a snack before bed myself. In fact I have my last meal 2 hours or more before I take my Lantus. Levimir or Lantus I wouldn't imagine would require a snack before bed as it's a background insulin i.e it'll keep you balanced, maybe it had something to do with your Novorapid? I found that I avoided evening lows by reducing my Novorapid at dinnertime, but then that's a whole other story. Could have been you needed to reduce the Lantus/Levimir. Falling asleep with the finger pricking thing in your hand... how glamorous ;) [/QUOTE]
