Hi, I was diagnosed type 1 in November last year (aged 34). In February this year my honeymoon phase came on, I didn't even need insulin from February until June (although I probably should have started injecting early june, sugars started to rise again then).
The past few weeks I've been getting a lot more highs, I know the honeymoon isn't fully over so I've been using 10 units of Levemir & injecting novorapid with a carb/insulin ratio of 1 unit to 12 grams.
Well last night I did exactly that and tested my sugars 5 hours later - 13.7. I waited an hour and they were 15, an hour after that 16.5.
I woke up about 5 in the morning and tested - 6.5. Then when I got up at 9 they were 7.5 (I didn't eat or drink when I woke up earlier).
I don't understand what is going on. When my sugars were 16.5 earlier on, I debated a corrective dose of novorapid but I'm glad I didn't because I fear my sugars would have dropped to low in my sleep.
What do I do? This is all a minefield.
