If your last insulin dose of the day is BI (background insulin) and you take this early evening but you don't go to bed until much later would you

- put the BI amount into your diary and the time
then
- test at your actual bedtime ie when you get into bed and mark this as BED

Thanks for any replies Smile

I would still test at bedtime, if I was was wanting to see what my BI was doing........

I don't always test before bed though as I know my BI is right, at least for now...

So not all the time, but definitely if your going through a stage of adjustment, which you are at the moment......

But if it was you how would you mark this all down in your dafne diary ie having your BI earlier then also doing a test at bedtime?
