A flat-profile basal or an insulin pump is less likely to cause nighttime hypos provided it matches your actual basal requirements. People on Insulatard tend to have more hypos (as well as decreased hypo awareness) because the curve in the action profile means you actually have to eat something to stop going low, whereas with a flat profile insulin you shouldn't have to do that.
