Type 1 for 12 years - Dafne for 4years. Seem to have developed new problem during early evening. Last night score of 10 before supper - only had 2 small potatoes with meal, plus fruit afterwards. Have regime of 3:1 in evenings of humalog so injected 12. Bed at 11.00pm and score was 19. Had normal basal insulin + 6 extra humalog. This morning score of 10. Have noticed this trend for last few days. Anyone recognise this pattern?

Are you on Lantus or Levemir? - and how many injections a day? It may be that your base insulin is running out in the evenings. Also did you drink anything with meal?

Im with marky boy, in the first instance, all being that you had no extra unnacounted carbs, I would say your basal is running out, or that you may need to up the AM dose if you are on a split basal dose.................

Thanks for replies - I too came to same conclusion. My basal dose is split so I have increased am dose - hope it works. Re Mark 2 - yes I had one glass of wine. Thanks.
