Tried uploading says file too large. Dropped to 2.6 this morning after eating at 3am not good for digestive system.

Unfortunately my blood sugar is not within normal range. They have to be higher to get me through night. Had Ketones after coming off pump very sensitive to background insulin adjustments. Apparently I'm an enigma .. My consultant says.

I ate 40 carbs. Yes do test bloods and use libre I was on 11 at 6.30pm. The Tresiba kicked in 7.15pm. The data doesn't reflect what happens. I know if I go to bed on 12 and it's dropping then I will continue to drop fast. Example 10.30pm I ate Cereal bar 10 carbs should raise levels by 3...

Thanks Slip Sorry I meant honey moon period on Tresiba I have been type 1 for 18 years. Nurses and Consultant want me to continue using Tresiba because I have been using Tresiba for only one month. But they don't have to deal with the lows I am getting. The pattern is 7 hours after...

Thanks both. Unfortunately pump did not work out for me so back to MDIs. Before the pump I was on 21 Lantus coming off pump ended up in hospital for a week with Ketones over 2.0. Offered choice of Toujeo or Tresiba opted for Toujeo as advised part of Lantus family. Didn't get on with...

I've moved injection currently to 1pm but levels drop from 2am 4am then 6am. I am going to try move Tresiba to breakfast time. I go to bed on level of 14 and it drops through night. if anyone can suggest what I could eat before sleep that will stop me going hypo or having to wake and eat...

Thanks@Circuspony. I've been on Tresiba for a month it was great at first then the hypos started. Whole dose adjustments are not working for me. Hope I can persuade the Consultant to let me trial half dose pen.

Not an expert on Tresiba going on what Consultant advises and my personal experience of going low every night. I drop 6 to 10 levels every night have reduced Tresiba to 19 units. I have to eat bread and jam every night to prevent hypo of 2. Starting to dislike jam. Tresiba is linear I'm told...

Thanks@Helensaramay I have DSNs telephone number and stay in contact including one on one appointments. They have regular nurse led clinics. Last conversation with nurse went similar to Consultants they do not think half dose Tresiba pen will make a difference. Nurse wouldn't commit on me...

Thanks@JuicyJ I agree and do make lists and ask if it were them what would they do. The Consultant liked the sound of his own voice not a good listener at all. Thanks for advice I am moving on and always have a plan in place. Probably on plan z now. Sense of humour still in place. Yes...

Had my long awaited appointment with Endocrinologist. First question asked was what's the best thing about your diabetes? Considering I was there due to continuing ill health found this a highly unusual question and very different to other past consultations with other medical professionals...

Thanks all. I started taking iron tablets same day but don't think that would make levels drop Apart from acid reflux meds use Novorapid and Tresiba insulins.

Thanks all for your replies. I have spoken to pharmacy and purchased a pack of Ranitidine. Tried taking with water they are very bitter tasting I find. Pharmacy said they are smaller dose than the other med. I had a better night's sleep in between hypo prevention. I still drop 10 levels each...

Thanks for your replies we all have different experiences. Think I am sensitive to any change of medication. I started taking iron tablets yesterday I guess they wouldn't have any affect on levels. Hope to get some rest tonight
