[QUOTE="Spablauw_, post: 1645448, member: 426373"] Thank you for all the help, I now got back to normal levels with the usual units of insulin I take. I guess it was just one of those moments you can't really do anything about it... I have no clue on what the reason might have been. I have had more of these moments lately (about once a month) and it really discourages me... especially after struggling for a long time to achieve good levels. Every time this happens I get scared that I lose control again. I now learned not to panic and not to change my basal insulin and continue daily activities. Previously I always changed my basal straight away when I woke up high or low, I changed my basal like every 2 days or so... That really caused me to lose control over my Diabetes. I'm now doing much better than before, mainly due to the Libre that I managed to get, it helped me to understand patterns especially at night. I was waking up high in the morning before so I thought I had to increase my basal but after the first night of wearing the sensor I saw that I was bouncing back from a low... and so I took less basal instead of more. My HbA1c has dropped to 6,6 from 7,1 in less than 3 months and now my Libre is showing me an average of 6,3! (last time it was quite accurate) I guess I should accept that being perfect is impossible and pay less attention to these moments before it affects my way of living! [/QUOTE]
