I'm now in the process of bringing BI to a morning dose instead of night time (10.00pm). Going to do it backwards so did it 1 hour earlier (9.00pm). Will leave it at this time for 4/5 days before altering again. Hope this is the right way of doing it rather than doing it in one big jump missing a night time dose and having to watch out for a high BS the next morning.

I would definitely recommend, 3am test.......

Have you considered doing any?

Waking up at those levels means there it too much insulin in the system.......!!

So your plan to move timings might not be the best strategy to solve the problem....

Yes i would definitely do 3am tests. Waking up at levels of 2 and 3 suggest too much BI overnight.

I would reduce the pre-bed BI dose rather than move it.
