I've had a bit of a turn since Friday. My insulin sensitivity has really increased and I'm not sure why.
I do a lot of exercise but I've been in a similar routine for a long time and not changed anything dramatically.
I've been eating a lower carb diet since January (typically 80g - 100g a day) so I usually have about 8-10 units of novorapid a day, and 16 or 18 units of lantus split in two doses.
It started Friday and as continued all weekend. I had my libre on Friday so have a screenshot.had 2 units bolus at 9 with a breakfast bar, and some cheese and nuts. I had 4 units bolus at lunchtime with some pasta. But inbetween times I had to keep topping up with lucozade and sweets.
On one hand it's great. Haven't been above 7 all weekend. I took some snacks before bed last night as I was worried. Expected to wake up high but at 4am I was 5mmol so I had a cereal bar. And 8am I was 3.9.
I guess my only option is to start reducing my basal.
Has anyone had a similar experience to this?
