Need to nip this in the bud...

For the past few days or so, I've noticed a slight increase from my before bed to before breakfast. It's only an increase of 1-2, but it's something I want to try to tackle. I've done a couple of 3am checks and I seem to dip slightly during the night. For example last night -

I went to bed at 10pm, by bg was 6.8. 3am this morning I was 6.4, and before breakfast at 7am, I was 7.3.

I've recently split my levemir, 3u at 9pm, and 3u at 9am. This is working really well for me, as I'm not going to bed high, and I'm not waking up low in the morning.

I was contemplating upping my 9pm dose, but I'm weary of the slight drop during the night, I don't want to drop and hypo.

Any suggestions?

I would consider -2 or +2 change from bed to breakfast is within range (I dropped 7 one night recently and also gone up by 4 so planning is difficult). As your Levemir is in relatively small amounts, any change could have a dramatic effect. I would err on the cautious side and prefer to be a bit high than risk an overnight hypo - of which you are very aware.

So if I was you I would continue to monitor and change by small amounts (1/2 unit change) if overnight changes get larger. Based on info provided, I think your doing Ok.

Hope this helps.

I would agree you are doing well. Would love those readings at bed, 3am and morning.

Thanks for the encouragement, will see how I go
