I have had type 1 for 4 years (I'm 26) and have always felt quite in control until lately.
I have just returned to the UK from a year in Australia and can't quite get my blood sugars on track.
I was having high BG on a morning so upped my background insulin which seems to have helped.
However I keep being quite high on a night before bed - I correct and then find I'm hypoing 1-2 hours later around 1/2am. I then seem to always eat too much! I try to just have 4 jelly babies or 200ml of orange juice and 10-15g of regular carbs but wake up over 10 everyone this happens!
I'm not really sure where to go from here.
I carb count so don't know if for my evening meal I need to up my ratio?
I just seem to be constantly swinging between high and low!
Should I be treating a nighttime hypo the same as a daytime? (Accounting for the fact at night I am not active compared to during the day?
Also I am not working since being back in the UK so am much less active - I thought the answer was upping my background insulin but unsure as to whether I need to change my ration instead for when I eat?
