I even gave her some novorapid when i went to bed last night but still woke up at this level
I had her down to waking at 9 last week so looks like i need to change something else :?

Next door's cockerel woke me by standing on my fence, almost under my bedroom window, and crowing his head off at 04:45! I'm going out to buy a high-powered water pistol. If that doesn't work, it's chicken-and-mushroom pie!

It could be possible that she is going low in the night? but not waking up so the body is 'dumping' glucose making her hight in the morning.
Sometimes it's hard to spot as it can seem like she's going high, so you give more insulin which just feeds the cycle.
Do you do spot checks through the night?
Would be a sleepless night for you but it could be useful to test her in the early hours to see whats going on.
May not be the case but worth looking into?

It might be that the correction your giving her is either not enough to bring her down, or that it's making her go low in the night and shes bouncing back up high. if you give her a correction near bed time, best to check her 3-4 hours later to see how it's going, novorapid has a life of 2-5 hours, so around 3-4 hours later it should have taken most effects by then.
By any chance does she take her levemir in one dose and at night?

I thought he was in the bedroom! And his wife has taken to sitting on my tomato plants. I wouldn't mind so much if she'd pay me in eggs for all the trouble she causes! :lol:
