Bedtime - Morning BS
I know I'm going to bed higher then waking up to hypos.

Daytime BS
What do you think of these?

Hi there, looks like you have your mealtime ratios spot on as the BG levels seem to return to pre-meal levels come the next meal time. What is worrying is the huge difference between bed time BG and waking BG. For BI to be at the correct level there would be no more than 2 units difference between the evening BG reading and the morning BG reading. With such big drops that you are experiencing - without setting the alarm and testing at 2 or 3am you have no idea whether you have been suffering hypos and just sleeping through them as some do (i know i have). I would suggest a) reducing your BI down by 2 units and b) setting your alarm at 2am to test BG. I assume you are on lantus as you only inject BI once a day - when changing this type of insulin it takes a little longer to see changes take effect (where as when changing Levemir the changes are seen more quickly). Perhaps wait 2 days after changing to correct again - but still set the alarm at night to check BG. Better safe than sorry!

Hi DArmstrong,

Thank you for all your comments. Yes I am on lantus and I was on a single dose until Thursday which is when I have gone onto a split dose.

I spoke to my DSN about it and she is phoning me on Tuesday to see how things are going, so comments welcomed as to what to tell her please.

so I don't know if it's the correct thing to but on Tue lunchtime i reduced my ratio from 1.5:10 (1.5u to every 10g carbs) to 1:10 (1u to every 10g carbs)

Reducing ratio sounds like a plan, see how it goes over next few days. There is also a pattern of BGs below target (wed/thu/fri/sat) just before lunch...which could indicate that breakfast ratio needs reducing too!?

What do you think of my BS?

Wondering whether to up my BI. At the moment I take 10u @ 10pm & 10u @ 10am. Really want to keep it at a 50/50 split so wondering to up it by 2u am & pm.

I notice you have supper every day but havent recorded the cps or the amount of qa you take, as thia could be impacting on morning bs!
