I was ill over last weekend and since then I have been experiencing low BG readings of around 4 whereas I am normal running at a stable 6.
I have lowered my basal (lantus) from 17 units to 13 units (20% decrease) to raise it during fasting but all it does is drop still. At breakfast today I had 50g carb and didn't take any novorapid and there wasn't even the slightest raise in BG, was 4.9 before and after 1 hour of eating I was 5.1.
At lunch I had 70g of carb and no novo rapid and was 4.3 before but only 6.2 after.
3 ours after lunch I was back to 4.8 still with no novo rapid.
Before I was ill I was having to have 17 units of lantus a night and 1 unit of novo rapid for every 12.5g of carbs
I don't understand what is going on at all. Starting to worry as always dropping low and never raising
Anyone got an idea?
