basals

Well, it seems that with the numbers you gave, then its possible the basal at night may be a tad high.

But I agree with Spike. 100 at bedtime, especially if you are still working out the pump set-up is a bit too close. When I started last week, my nighttime basal was too high. I dropped rather low overnight. If I had started at 100, I may have been in trouble. Once you feel the basals are set-up accurately, then I'd try to SLOWLY reduce the bedtime BG. If a drop of 179 to 118 was seen, then starting at 100 would have fallen to 39!

Are you getting up and checking sugars overnight?

"The departure of our boys to foreign parts with the ever-present possibility that they might never return, taught the real value of photography to every father and mother. To many a mother the photograph of her boy in his country's uniform was the one never-failing consolation." -Louis Fabian Bachrach

It’s much easier for governments to create the appearance of security, than the reality of security.
