Now I'm on 14 units and my mornings aren't low anymore - I don't have any explanation for why my dose has dropped, but that could be happening with you, for whatever reason. Try a 3am test like Cinnabon suggested and let us know!
I agree...sometimes there's not really an explanation for why things are as they are. It's just one of those Diabetes Mysteries . I would continue to test frequently and log your readings carefully, including what you've been eating and your activity at each time period. If you notice a pattern, call your doctor and see if your insulin can be adjusted. Btw, is it possible that you've lost weight? I know you have been being more careful with what you've been eating and if you've lost weight, you could be more sensitive to the insulin. I don't know, just a thought.

Anyway...I wouldn't worry about it too much, but like it was mentioned, continue to be extra observant of your readings.

Take Care
