| Weird basal behavior I just got back from a week vacation in London. When I was there I noticed a weird behavior of my BG levels when I don't eat or use rapid insulin. I take my lantus before I go to bed and I was always waking up in the range of 75-100. The past few days it seemed like I keep going low during the day, it wasn't too bad and I always cought it above 65 but it seems like it goes down when I don't do anything. I tried lowering my lantus by 2 units but then I woke up 120-130 so now I raised it 1 unit. It's been a very irregular and out of the ordinary week for me so I won't make any major adjustment to my doses based on this week alone. However I do want to know if it's possible that a basal that is perfect for night time can be too high for the day? If that is the case is there any way to deal with it other then having to eat to compensate couple of times a day?
Thanks,
Corwin.
