Hi Thanks for your encouragement and for sharing what works for you. Always helpful to compare food groups and well done for five nights without a hypo. Major achievement. I've tried eating breakfast at 3am but not a lover of cold oats even though they are left in a hot food thermos flask...

@RTI It was a different hospital before I moved so it's out of area now. Will try local team next week. Thanks

Thanks @RTI I've been on Dafne course 2016. My team are attached to hospital. Will take a look at links you have sent. Thanks for information.

Hi @RTI Under NHS UK. They try their best. GP does not have a specialist doctor although get annual blood checks, chloestral etc. I get to see a consultant about every 18 months. I moved areas which means you are allocated a team depending on where you live. Unless I went privately which...

Hi @ Marikev Thanks for your reply. Your levels are amazing well done. Yes when I'm high I try give the insulin something back too usually half slice of wholemeal bread. Can you give me an example of your food intake and insulin amounts/times please? As we are on same insulins I am looking...

Hi @RTI Your experiences are very interesting. I did try the pump ended up in hospital very unwell with ketones. Then a couple of months later hospital again with the worst hypo ever on Toujeo. When initially diagnosed I was on humalog mix just felt awful everyday for a long time. Switched...

I'm really sorry to hear that you have been through so much and are also dealing with lows. I reduced from 17 units Tresiba down to 12 which left me with day time highs. Now on 14 . If I adjusted my Novorapid by 2 it throws me into a low. I start with 6 units and put corrections in of 2 to 3...

Thanks @scoles3 Yes definitely hormones are part of the equation. I was taking insulin in the morning still had early morning lows. Pushed Tresiba to later in the day in hope that lows would move to at least breakfast time. Running out of options. Thanks for your message xx

Thanks @Fairygodmother

Thanks @Grant_Vicat

Hi No I haven't and has not been mentioned as an option. Worth asking about thanks. I wonder what the transition would be like. Do you take it?

Thanks. Yes tried different times it's always the early morning drop I think Tresiba is over lapping. Discussed with consultant who mentioned going back to Lantus. It's devil and deep blue sea scenario. Lantus made my chest tight tried splitting dose which gave me lows tea time. Tresiba is...

Last night. 1 slice cheese on toast wholemeal 6pm 3 units novorapid. Tresiba at 5pm 14 units Drop at 4am half slice bread biscuit Breakfast Oats 6 units. This mornin moving furniture and dog walk level now 11.

Hi My CGMs are fairly accurate this one displays levels higher than actual. When hypo happens early hours I will go back to blood glucose test strips as my safety net. It's just exhausting. Although I wouldn't be without CGM now far better than lots of daily blood glucose testing. For hypo...

Hi I'll try take a screen shot. Unfortunately 24 hour log book doesn't load it hasn't for months. My readings vary to actual blood sugars can be currently 1 to 3 lower than cgm. You will see the low this morning. I ate slice wholemeal bread and an oat digestive biscuit to bring it back up...
