Do you eat a snack before bed?

Wowsers Susan that's a scary number! How much Lantus are you currently taking? Have you ever tried taking it in the mornings rather than last thing at night? Or tried splitting the dose in two approx 12 hours apart?

Sounds like you would benefit from focussing on trying to get your basal insulin at the right level (or possibly least worst since it can be a bit of a compromise on MDI). Have you ever come across the concept of basal testing? Take a look here if interested: http://www.diabetes-support.org.uk/info/?page_id=120

Thanks to a new consultant at Bournemouth I'm now injecting at bedtime only 4 ! This has done the trick.

I know nothing about basal testing, but will investigate the link. Thanks for that.

Interestily Carly need to drink a glass of warm milk every night (without extra insulin), just usual levemir at bedtime. Without the milk she would hypo in the night, maybe it is because she is still growing!
