If your child's blood glucose levels are consistently above target, you should discuss increasing insulin doses with your health care team. There is a good chance that the basal/long-acting insulin needs to be increased."Correcting" at bedtime can be a bit tricky, since rapid acting insulin can lower the blood sugar a great deal late at night. Again, work with your health care team to create a correction formula to use at night.
