I have no specific recommendation, but have you considered adding NPH, regular, or fast acting to the mix? I'd hate to see you bump up the Levemir and start bottoming out in the night. It "seems" to me that a small dose of NPH in the morning might cover this rise and wear off before your middle of the night down turns. I am not familiar enough with NPH and regular to say what might work best, if at all.
