I give my insulin a head start in the morning: I usually wake at 6.30am, take 4.5 units of short-acting (Humalog) and 7 units of long-acting (Tresiba – I take 14 units total but I split dose, taking the other 7 at 10 pm).
Important! I'm not recommending these doses for you or anyone else, this is just what I need. As you're a different human being with a different weight, height and metabolism, your insulin requirements are different to mine
.
I then shower, get dressed, put the radio on and empty the dishwasher, before putting breakfast on (an omelette – 2 eggs, 15g cheddar, 25g bell pepper. I also have a coffee with a tsp of 100% cocoa so very low carbohydrate). That means that I'm having breakfast just after 7 usually. Sometimes I still get a bit of dawn phenomenon but not always. These are my Libre readings for the past couple of weeks to give you an idea of what my levels run at with this method. Hope that helps!
