It Your basal could be running out. It depends what doses your on and when you have taken it. I’m on levemir now on split doses. Was on lantus 8 units in the evening before bed. Was finding just after tea was starting to wear off.

This is a copy and paste from a comment I just posted. But relevant for you as well.. Have you tried sambucol yet? I swear by it now I’ve had a few sniffles. Comes highly advised from Dr Bernstein. 1g carb per pastel, I get mine from Holland and Barrett’s. ;)

Good morning all. 5.7 for me. Still waking mid sleep for a cheeky 2 shot of novorapid to keep numbers from rising. Again no carbs or food on board to digest. Just seem to do what they like when I’m asleep and steadily rise. 5.7 on sleeping 2300. 6.8 0230.. 5.7 0745... Have a groovy Friday...

U I’d suggest getting in touch with whoever makes the pen your after. Tell them how you use their insulin daily they should give you one. It’s worth a try, i can’t believe your diabetic nurse won’t give you a half unit pen, they are not just for children. I use half unit doses every jab for my...

Absolutely fantastic news that is. You should be over the moon with yourself. Sounds like a lot of hard work and the changes have paid off. Take that to the health bank you’ve just become today’s health millionaire. Treasure it my friend chances like that are hard earned with determination and...

Excellent stuff, everyone on here is so lovely and knowledgable. So much big D love around. ;)

B 3 egg omelette with cheese and a 95% lidl sausage L corned beef and salad, 2 of my homemade no added sugar 100% chocolate truffles D low carb chicken masala, 2 bags of Iceland steamed broccoli, kale and seaweed rice. Sugar free jelly and dash of double cream for pudding Total...

Rules and routines are good for us diabetics, I find the earlier I can get my dinner and insulin in the better. get nice and settled for bed then. ;)

Low carb chicken masala for me, gave that broccoli, kale and seaweed steamed rice from Iceland a whirl. Was very nice and just under 12g carb. Even had 2 bags, mixed it all together, didn’t look that appealing compared to normal rice you would just dollop your sauce over but tasted lovely and...

That’s amazing, what a reduction in such a short space of time. So much hard work on your behalf really has payed off and will keep on doing so by the sound of your attitude towards improving your control. They will only get better if you stick to what you are doing. Hopefully the dn will...

I would say it’s a combination of all 3. Dawn phenomenon, carbs from the porridge and the exercise so early on. Stress of just riding on the road can be enough, I bet London is an experience. I used to commute every morning using my bike but only a 12 minute ride and would find if I rode...

Hi @SueJB because our systems are all waking up and our body likes to switch off our on board insulin and secrete glucose into the blood to help us rise. If like me and your dawn phenomena is potent it’s advised to avoid carbs. That’s why dr Bernstein’s advises no more than 6g at breakfast. I...

That’s fantastic to see such a reduction. Keep doing what your doing. Things just get better and better from here on in. ;)

You had nearly 100 carbs just with your evening meal. I’d say your subway on its own would be near 50. The fruit you are eating as a snack would greatly impact on your sugars also and I would stop that immediately. Try and avoid carbs first thing in the morning also. Try an omelette or some...

Good morning all. I hope your all glorious this morning. 4.7 for me 0706. Had a cheeky 2 shot about 0530 as sugars were rising. Too early to get up though. having potent Dawny P around at the moment. Plays havok if I sleep in too much. Time to brew a nice coffee up. Crack some eggs. Have a...

There’s no need for any excess protein, that is where problems will come in. If you just take what you need and get the balance right for your needs you shouldn’t experience the above said problems. I’m not at all insulin resistant and it still becomes problematic and I will spike after a meal...

I’m not sure why protein is being over looked over fat as an energy source. The full on Keto approach seems very extreme and if you mess it up you have a lot of fat and carbs flying around your body. A balanced meal from doctor Bernstein’s approach doesn’t call for high fat. 6/12/12 g carbs with...

B= 3 egg omelette topped with 50g cheddar and a 95% meat Lidl sausage. Not as low carb as Sainsbury’s but haven’t seen the big pack for a while. 2g carbs L= sausage to keep me going as breakfast was late 1g carbs. 2 of my homemade 100% cocoa sugar free truffles D= 2 quarter pounder beef...

I’m type one. Always have tested before meals and 2 hours after. Can make any corrections needed then if you have a sneaky peek at what’s going on before hand. Also a good reference point for what your food/meds are doing.
