A MDI question ...

I have been on Actrapid/NPH for the past 3 years, actrapid before every meal and NPH at Noon and bedtime.

I have been controling my big D okay by the measurement of A1c but quality of living has been compromised in terms of having to be really watchful of the frequent lows (I always eat very little even during the actual meals, afraid of the postprandial high).

I am thinking of switching Actrapid to Humalog, do you think that will help cut back the number of hypos I am encountering currently? Also, with Actrapid, I found that my after mid-night BS always drop tremendously and that forced me to always have a full 15g carb of long-acting carb at bedtime even though my BS is as high as 7mmol/L (Actrapid injection at dinner has always been between 7~8pm, and NPH at around 11:30pm ~ 12midnight). I am wondering if Humalog will be better in this case?

Thank you for reading my post and if you are just like me, pls share your experience and advice.
