My 14 year old son is a freshman in high school. He averages about 10 units of Humalog and 22 units of NPH before breakfast, and 4 units of Humalog before dinner.

My blood sugars are running high before eating breakfast (7:00 am), and I take NPH between 10-11 pm to help reduce increasing blood sugar while asleep. At what time would you expect the NPH to be in full swing? Can you recommend an injection time for NPH to help deal with night time increases in blood sugar?
