Hi there,
Wondering if anyone had any advice, I’ve been type 1 for 17 years (I’m 22) but the past couple years now, mainly in the past few months no matter what I do I can’t stop going ridiculously high in the morning, waking up and feeling completely awful.
My background is I’m on novorapid and levemir 2 split doses of levemir in the morning and night of currently 26 units (each injection). In the past I had horrible hypos during the night lasting hours! Which somehow still had mad highs in the morning. Doctor said it’s due to the body recovering from hypo etc. Which made sense but now the hypos are gone and the highs are not
So I’ve changed my levemir dose a lot of times now and found that what is best for not going low is 26 units then it’ll be perfect all night but reaching nearly 20mmol in the mornings!
I am aware of the fact that something makes you go higher in the mornings (for no known reason) but surely it shouldn’t be going that high?
I’m on the libre which makes it really clear what is going on. But if someone had any personal experience of what’s helped them reduce or lower these awful morning highs I’d really appreciate some advice!
Every time I see the diabetic specialists they don’t give me advice on how to fix it and because my HbA1c is always a great level they don’t see the issue. I’m just getting real sick of having to wait hours after I wake up before I feel back at a healthy range and able to carry on as normal
Photos are attached of Libre patterns to show the spikes I’m talking about
