[QUOTE="Tankie1rtr, post: 2133468, member: 425123"] I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 12 years ago, and i have been on insulin for 10 yrs, everything was ok, I was on 50 units of insulin (Humalog Mix 24) and 50 units in the evening, my HBA1C was fantastic and they were very happy with me. in March I snapped my Achilles Tendon and I was put on an Injection every day to stop any blood clotting, It was making me wee a lot. and I had my foot n a special boot for 4 months, I could not remove it, I even had to sleep in it, it was around this time i started having very low blood readings when i went to bed, it went as low as 3.5 at one time, and it also showed Keytones, I was vomiting and then started going very hot and clammy, I had to drink a bottle of Lucozade to bring my blood sugars up and lay underneath the cold ceiling fan after about 1 hour I would start to feel better, I contacted my doctor who told me to drop my insulin down to 45 units, I did this and it helped, but is still started feeling sick when I went to bed although my blood didnt drop as much, I told the doctor and he took me off one of my tablets Bezafibrate.
