[QUOTE="LewisK123, post: 1634639, member: 374679"] Hey everyone, This year in January my sugars randomly started dropping without needing much or any rapid insulin at all. I remember for about 8 days I took 1 unit of levemir and not a single drop of rapid. This up and down rubbish continued all the way up to September/October time. And since then I've been able to take several units of levemir anywhere from 7-11 units, and take 1 unit of rapid to every 10 grams of carbs. I've been tested for various different things and I am deffo a type 1. My problem is, is that I can maintain my sugars being high so 13-19mmol but can't maintain them being lower. And what I've been finding is that the amount of insulin I take varies so I may have to take hardly any insulin then 4 weeks later raise how much I'm taking then 2 months later lower how much I'm taking. What I've also been finding is that as im on 10 units of background I could eat 70 grams of carbs take 2 Units of rapid then I can still hypo? My question is, is this the honey moon thing or does my sensitivity just fluctuate? Sorry if I haven't explained some things well! Tried to cram the past 11 months of confusion and mishaps into one post :) [/QUOTE]
