All
I was diagnosed with LADA 3.5 years ago and have been managing with diet and for the past year, Trulicity but I fear the lockdown and other related issues have negatively impacted on my AlC so the nurse has suggested I try small amounts of basal insulin at night.
I have particularly bad readings in the morning so we suspect I am prone to the dawn phenomena.
Her suggesting was 6 units of Humulin. This appears to have had no effect for the past week I have been taking it.
Am I correct in assuming this is a tiny dose and it probably needs seriously increasing to have any meaningful impact?
Thanks
