Keep going! It's one of the most difficult things to get right is the basal insulin (the levemir) - once you have that at the correct dose you'll start to feel better about things 🙂 How many units are you on now?
 
Did I read that you have a baby keeping you busy?

If you are still having to get up in the night it might be an idea to do a quick BG test around 3am or 5am.

Just pushing Levemir ever upwards to get morning readings down might be exactly right, but if you are going hypo overnight and your liver is dumping glucose into your bloodstream as an emergency rescue measure and bounding you into a high (Somogyi Effect) then you might actually need to reduce your dose to get your FBG numbers down.

yeh i have a beautiful baby boy who is 1 and a irish boy, happy st patricks day to you all. I am currently on 22 levemir but have been tryin different doses but i am going to start tryin a unit every 2nd night til i get it i think. I know i should not b hard on myself but i goto bed with such high hopes then see from 8 to prob 11.3 at a high and feel rubbish all over again. plus i feel fat and blur
 
Bet you're having fun with your 1 yr old? I loved that time in my kid's lives - they were so entertaining. Just wait until they start to speak :D

Don't be put off by your Levemir dose; some on here take less, some more (I'm currently splitting my Lantus 12 at bed and 18 in the morning). You need whatever you need!
Have you heard about basal testing? This is the best way to see how your long-acting insulin is coping with your background glucose.
 
Has anyone got any experience with the carb counter on the i phone or i pod, we were shown it by my daughters dietican and it looked brilliant and as its an app easier to carry about than a book.
