My version of insulin horrified my consultant and educator. After faffing around doing things their way, they have now given me complete free reign to carry on-as they cannot get a better regime for me or better results...
I have listed this many times here, so please skip if you have read it before...
After changing my evening tresiba dose to mornings and tweaking insulins over last few weeks/days I now have the following:
Insulatard: 3.30am 12 units.
Insulatard: 8am 6units
Tresiba: 8am 1.5 units
Novorapid: 7 units but adjusting this as I am now trying to eat a homemade breakfast.... this includes my breakfast bolus... I havent worked out the carbs to be honest...
I know I have to reduce insulin still but compared to when I miss my 3.30 insulatard.... well...or just tresiba or just insulatard... this is superb.
I know I still have tweaks but only started this regime yesterday.
My breakfast is made up to 3 days in advance and left overnight. Breakfast consists of: 1oz steel cut gluten free porridge oats, (evthing is organic if I can get it): teaspoon each flax and chia seeds: 2 tsp hemp seeds, 1/4 teaspoon cacoa powder, goats yogurt (check out blueberries with greek yogurt-not the best..), and soya milk 2-2.5 oz each, 10 blueberries, 4 cherries (both frozen and put in mix frozen) oh and scrapes of lovely coconut, and almonds and walnuts crushed on top with pumpkin and sunflower seeds in the morning..
I have never ate breakfast but wanting to get some extra nutrition in me, I found this mixture. I eat it cold, straight from fridge the next 3 mornings. I make triple quantity.
I have obviously overdone the hypo at 13.43 but this was actually just a 13.9g carb "proteinbar" not the best hypo stopper but I wanted it to kick in for longer...it certainly upped my levels!!
To me, long and short version... do what you think is right for your body. Superb advice here told me that " consultants are specialists and we are the experts".... and that gave me the courage to work to my needs and not the "average" persons needs.
