Hi all
I have type 1.5 diabetes and have just started novamix. I also take metformin and tradjenta .
I am taking 10 units in the morning and 6 units at night .
I'm finding that the morning one is giving me lows , I have my breakfast and by lunchtime around 12 I suddenly I get a bad low and when I mean bad I mean bad, today it came on so suddenly I thought I was gonna pass out before I got to some juice. I then had a slice of toast with peanut butter and a cup of tea and within the hour I had another low!!
I am eating in between but maybe not something substantial enough I try to avoid carbs as much as I can -
I just wondered I know this is normal with insulin you are at risk of lows but is it normal to get another even though I had something .
What would be a good snack to have in between . I wonder if maybe 10 units is too much in the morning .
