[QUOTE="Cathy Cally, post: 2695788, member: 587811"] Hi. I am very new to diabetes type one and at the moment I am on 3 units of rapid acting insulin before meals and 16 units of slow acting insulin at night. What I don’t understand is that during the night my glucose levels become so high the Libre 2 cannot register it and the alarm continuously goes off, so I do a finger prick test shows my glucose to be in the late 20’s going up into the 30’s. During the day it ranges from 18 to 20’s. The Diabetic nurse specialist is slowly increasing my night time dose, tonight I go up to 18 units. But why do my levels become so high during the night.? It’s really worrying me and I am so worried about it that once my alarm goes off I cannot go back to sleep,so am becoming exhausted. Does anyone else have or have had the same problem? I am watching my carb intake very closely and only drink water. Also forgot my A1C is around 13.1 but forgot to ask the nurse what are normal ranges? Thanks Cathy. [/QUOTE]
