• Minging hypos
• Uncontrollable highs
• People who think I can’t eat doughnuts.. haha
Hi everyone! 
So lately I've been having trouble with morning hypos. I wake up feeling fine, as soon as I get up out of bed, I can feel my bg low, even if it's 4.0 or 4.1, there is the odd occasion where the symptoms would wake me though.
It's starting to really irritate me now, I mean drinking lucozade first thing in the morning isn't my cup of tea haha. I take my Lantus in the night at around 11 or 12, yea that is late, reasons why is because I've been out of college for a few months, no job, I'm a 17yr old bum and go to sleep late, around half 1 latest, unless i can't sleep. And I wake up around half 11am or 12pm even. It's ridiculous I know but I am going back to college next week so things are changing haha. Anyway it crossed my mind maybe it's taking Lantus late in the night that might be giving me morning hypos? My dosage is 16units, 2 days ago I dropped it down to 14units, but it's not doing anything.
I'll wake up, have breakfast, maybe have a little snack but won't eat a proper meal until 5 in the afternoon, my mother thinks it might be because I go too long without eating. Since being diagnosed (in feb), I got better and put weight back on a month later. I then started to watch what I was eating, without realizing i was low carbing, so have gone from 11stone to 9 and a half now. I hardly eat during the day, could this be another reason?
