[QUOTE="smidge, post: 803752, member: 29301"] OK, so my BG is still a bit inconsistent - particularly at fasting. I'm not getting hypos and my BG does seem more stable generally, but I get the odd mad high and I am finding a considerable increase in my Apidra needs. Monday and Tuesday night I took 11 units Tresiba at 10pm but my BG was rising late evening and into the night, resulting in a 16.6 at 2am one morning! The Libre shows me that there was a steady climb from about 9.30pm even though I'd eaten and taken my Apidra about 6.30pm and my BG had started to fall about 8pm. Tuesday night I decided to arrest the similar looking pattern at 11.30pm by jabbing 1.5 units Apidra before bed - this meant I woke with a good 5.7 fasting level. Last night I increased the dose of Tresiba to 12 units and despite seeing a similar rise starting at around 9.30pm, I didn't correct and went to bed with my BG at 9mmol - I woke this morning with it at 4.5mmol - worrying! I am finding that during the day, I need 2.5 units Apidra for a lunch that needed 1.5 Apidra when on Insuman - I'm guessing that's because I was using the Insuman peak to off-set that, so that's to be expected. From breakfast to late afternoon, my BG has been very flat and stable - albeit at too high a level for my liking (around 6 - 7 mmol), but from about 5.00pm, I see a gradual rise until I eat and correct with the Apidra. Then I get a rise again from around 9.30pm, so I'm thinking a) my dose needs increasing or b) Tresiba doesn't last 24 hours for me and is running out before my next 10pm shot - it certainly wouldn't be the first insulin I've had that lasts nowhere near as long as it claims! So, very much a work-in-progress at the moment. I'm hoping that once I get the correct dose for consistency, I can then lower the overall level. Smidge [/QUOTE]
