[QUOTE="chloe1, post: 526660, member: 28559"] Hi Lily I've had a very similar experience as you recently. I used to be able to have treats and just have more insulin to cover, but over the past couple of weeks I've had readings in the high teens or twenties. It's like my body is getting resistant to the insulin. But I don't think it's honeymoon as I have been diabetic for 8 years. I've been seeing my DSN as I am hopefully going on a pump if I get funding. But they are at a bit of a loss when they look at my readings. Before Christmas I was constantly hypo, and they encouraged me to reduce insulin and run a bit high for a while as I have 2 kids to look after. They have suggested the following to try and get things under control: CGM monitor for a week, it showed I was dropping quite rapidly overnight, although not hypo as my readings were high before going to bed, Split levemir dose instead of just once in the evening, Just testing and testing and increasing novorapid until after meal readings improve, Looking at results over the month and seeing if hormones have an effect on blood sugar. Throw away this batch of insulin and start a new one. I have done all of this and I am still having difficulty. The only thing which has made much of a difference is splitting my levemir. I have most of the days readings in sensible figures now, but the morning is still 17 or 18. Last night I tested at 2 am, I was 7.8, this morning at 6.30 am I was 17.6. I'm sure I didn't hypo so I'm guessing it must be dawn phenomenon. Hopefully the pump will help with this, but it will be months before I get it, and I don't fancy waking up to this every morning. I hope you find out what this is because I know how ill it makes you feel. Anyone else help with this?
