For a while now, I've noticed that after eating and injecting, two to three hours after, I go hypo. So I have a little bit of sugar and shoot back up way more than the correction alone would have taken me, suggesting maybe that I am having the correct dose, but the timing of the insulin release was wrong, so I started taking insulin after my meals instead of before. This worked in most cases and I did not have hypos hours after a meal. However, after getting my Freestyle Libre trial the other day, I noticed by doing this, my sugars would reach dangerous highs before coming down. So I have gone back to taking conservative doses before meals, and the hypos have returned. Looking at the Libre, the levels start to rise, level off, then plummet down and I am forced to correct. Is this perhaps an indication that my basal is too high, because I've also noticed that I drop a considerable amount during the night as well. Or might it be something to do with the rate of my digestion and the stages in which NovoRapid releases the inulin does not work for me?
It might be worth pointing out that I am currently in my honeymoon period, only diagnosed with type 1 less than three months ago. Also, my Libre overreads by about 2mmol/L, and I still dose using my meter, wouldn't dare dosing according to the innacurate Libre!
