| Yes, I'd echo that sentiment. Considering that she has now narrowed the rising trend down to between 2am and wake up (which is usually what time?), as Brian says focus in on that period and try to catch more specifically where things start to go wrong. Then she can start looking at solutions such as Brian's early morning adjustment dose. Depending on the factors other solutions are probably possible. Even, if desired and affordable, going on an insulin pump which can be programmed with many changes in basal rates to cope with such "behind the scenes" fluctuations.
Out of interest, it's great you are seeking answers, is she aware you are doing this research? I hope she is privy to the conversation if possible (and might even join in).
