[QUOTE="pinewood, post: 1952820, member: 147474"] Thanks [USER=468714]@kitedoc[/USER] - yes, I’ve been on 14 units of Tresiba but 2 days ago I lowered it to 10 units because of all these issues to try and see if that can help me with the lows. I know changes to Tresiba dosing take a few days to take effect so hopefully I will see some benefit from this reduction today or tomorrow. I am lucky enough to have a Dexcom G6 so I know there isn't a delayed rise, I was between 4 and 7 all day yesterday! I was so worried that I thought my Dex must be wrong but I did 7 or 8 finger sticks and every one matched up with the Dexcom. Yes, even though I’m eating normally now my stomach is still playing up a little bit so I expect I still have / am recovering from some kind of bug (or maybe it’s IBS, I am not sure). However, last time I had a gastro bug my levels went up - not down - so it’s all a little confusing and strange .... [/QUOTE]
