Long meeting with my Practice Diabetic specialist yesterday. Trying to get a grip on my control in the evening. my numbers are fine up to about 1400, but then gradually rise into the ten in the late evening.
So a change in monitoring:
- Now working to a range of 6.0 to 8.0 instead of a fixed target of 6.0
- Increased my insulin to carb ratio for Evening and Night to 1u/3g carb (from a single all day of 41u/4g)
- To balance this my Basal is being reduced by 2units every 3 days until a balance is found.
- Putting my carb intake up to 100g from 75g where I have been since Xmas.
- Aiming for a fasting BG of 6.0
- Aiming for a Retiring BG of 8.0 to 10.0
In the meantime, I will be testing at 0200 to 0300 every night to check which direction my BGs are going.
North Somerset CCG have still not published their criteria for Freestyle Libre that would give me a complete overnight profile and I can't afford to self-fund
On the bright side, my Freestyle Insulinx makes the calculations for insulin with carbs completely automated.
Still want a Libre though, and the practice nurse told me they would prescribe it to every T1 they manage if they could.
