In fact I don't think I have ever gone low at night.. usually only during the day. The strange thing is that my insulin needs in the morning are actually less then at night..based on my i:c ratio.. so I'm a bit confused! what a crazy disease this is!

Thanks for all the advice.. I think a good basal test is what I need to really figure this out!
That’s not strange at all, DP is the reason for this and it’s your body that’s crazy not your dead pancreas. If we all required the same insulin day in day out life would be so much easier.
