I was diagnosed with type1 diabetes when I turned 40 (now I am 44). Nobody in my family has/had it. At first, I was told my pancreas was still active and I was taking very small doses. Then a very stressful 3 years came, I didn't take care as much as in beginning and I increased my doses (life happen and it took me a while to learn to put my diabetic needs before everything else). Recently my body stopped reacting to Lantus. So, since NY I am using tresiba. I started with 18 units, now I am taking 12 units every evening at 22h. For the last 3 weeks, I have been having hypos at least 10 times a week. Sometimes even 3 times a day, and the worse of all, I don't even feel them coming. At first, I thought that it is because I changed my exercise regime, but for the last 2 days I haven't been exercising at all and I had 4 hypos. I became very insecure when I am taking my lunch dose of Novorapid (for breakfast and dinner ratio is 1:12, but for lunch is 1:6) as from day to my body reacts differently to the same amount of carbs. I've been told that finding the right dose is a trial and error process, but these errors are freaking me out. I live in Malta. So, I don't have access to Libra sensors via my social security and I usually order them from UK when I go on a vacation. Do you have any advice for me? They are all very welcome. Thank you.
