essentially more than an average meal's worth of carbs.

I'm on mixed oral meds, so it's a bit more tricky, If I play around with the lantus, it tends to effect my meals BG's I take 22U's at bed time, so around 10pm Lantus is a "24" hour drug

Time and time again, if I wake in the middle of the night, for a snack, my mornings, are fantastic, if I eat a little, and no midnight snack, my BG's are horrible.

I can get consistent 5.1 - 6.5 by eating a substantial carb at night before bed, I've also toyed with 2 servings of oatmeal and a banana,

tonight I went with 2 avacado's, a banana and a slice of tirumisu

Fcuk this dawn phenomenon it is a real mind F88K,

eat too much BG's go high
eat too little BG's go low

But with the morning BG's your instincts to eat less are wrong..

I've found, for lows at night just before bed, the best thing is a glass of whole milk. Immediate carbs from the lactose, plus protein to slowly get thru the night.

Just remember to rinse your mouth out, morning milk-breath is the worst!!!
