Hi and welcome to the forum..............
Its hard to pin point any specific problems as there isn't much information to go on however I have made some observations.
You seem to be waking up high most mornings, this must be exhausting. This can be down to the dawn phenomenon, not enough background insulin, or not enough quick acting insulin. On a few nights though you had your evening meal about 19:00 or 20:00, tested before bed, the level of which was not far off the next morning, you would assume your BI dose is correct then but your QA from dinner has not finished working yet, so I think your 18 BI at night should increase a few units.....
So just follow the normal drill, carb free, 3am tests, no QA including corrections, until you wake up the same level as you went to bed on......
The first thing I always look for in someones diary is there background dose overnight, as if there are no signs it is doing the job then trying to adjust doses in other areas is pointless.........
How long have been graduated........?
