Hi I’m wondering whether my basal is too high but I’m not too sure.
I was on 14 units of Lantus when in the UK and thought it would change when I came on holiday to a warmer country but it was exactly the same so I kept giving the 14 units and I’ve been here over 3 weeks and it has been fine however I’m having issues with my appetite where I don’t feel hungry at all so I don’t really eat. I’ve realised that my blood sugar is going down naturally by itself without bolus, I’m not totally starving myself but I’m eating very little probably around max 1000-1200 calories a day, I wonder if this has anything to do with my blood sugar going low?
I thought basal was supposed to keep you steady regardless? In this case should I be reducing my basal on days I don’t eat that much. Kind of new to this whole diabetes thing even though sometimes I like to pretend I’m an expert
Thanks for the help
