Optimal BG level for sleeping

[LarissaW]

@kalle

Those of you with pumps, do you find that you require more basal overnight?

There was an old thread on this here:

Night basals: higher or lower than daytime?

a few months ago [my endo and I] jacked my nighttime basals way up – my logic had me thinking that there must be a different issue as there was no way my nighttime basals should need to be higher than my daytime basals, yet they absolutely do. [Mod EDIT: split thread from How do you use your endocrinologist visit?]

It seems like it varies by person and like you were saying on activity level and if/how much they have eaten.

@kalle

The slightly annoying part is that I’m often closer to 8 when sleeping and sometimes get low when awake.

Are you going low while asleep? Is it a consistent pattern?
