So for the last week I have been getting really high Dawn Phenomenon. It's starting at around 2 - 3am and I'm going from around 7mmol right up to between 16 - 20mmol! I wake up at around 6ish and always correct it. I have the libre and I can see its happening like clockwork. It's a big rise...

Just to update - I have been changed on to Tresiba and Apidra. I have just started the Tresiba this morning so hopefully it will keep my basal rate steady. I have been reading up and I know it takes a bit of time to settle and will need tweaking but fingers crossed! I used to take Abaseaglar...

But it's not fine to spike so much after eating is it? It's the spikes that do the damage.

Yes I mean working on taking it at different times so earlier depending on food and my current BG. I am on the not so Novorapid- I asked my DSN if I could change to Fiasp but apparently in Cornwall they only use it in pumps or if you are pregnant... I asked what the alternative was and she...

I dont think my ratio is out - if you look at the graph on my libre I'm back to good numbers, if I gave more insulin I would hypo after meals. I think I'll work on pre bolusing more and see if that helps.

Yes i do split bolus for some meals. I'm happy that I'm using the correct amount of insulin for this meal because my BG came back to a good number a couple hours after ( see pic )

I do pre bolus - and wait for my line to go down, as said in my previous post. It's a very fine line because my BG starts dropping so my insulin is working but the food can take time to impact so if I wait too long I will go hypo while I'm eating or just after. When I've done some testing with...

I said further down that there were carbs in the meal. Zero carbs would not make any difference, I still need to inject for anything I eat. Nexus6 you are not Type 1 are you?

Thanks. Sorry, I know I had carbs - just forgot to change the header... Definitely injected, waited until my libre line started going down. I had the same meal last night and had a small spoke ( within 2 mmol) I guess I cant even have 20g of carbs before the evening then. I'm so ****** off at...

Now up to 13.8 and rapidly increasing..

Had a quarter of frittata today with bacon,onions and 2 small new potatoes and a 10g cereal bar - took 8 units and BS gone from 5.4 to 11.2 in an hour and rising rapidly ( libre ) I literally give up.

Another update. I did exactly the same as yesterday but woke up at 4.9 mmol - have now spiked to 9.4 within an hour!!

No worries, more than happy to answer questions if it helps someone No 9 is not usual, I had an Indian for dinner at about 8pm so was higher than usual because of that I expect. I had to correct at about 2am aswell Yes I bolused for the toast and for half the protein in the eggs. I have to...

An update - I woke up at 6.30am and was at 9mmol. I took a correction dose and enough to cover my breakfast. I stated in bed for about 10 mins then got out when my BG started to drop. I dropped 4 mmol in an hour and eat 1p slice of toast and 2 boiled eggs. My BS went up from 5.4 to 7.2 and...

Sorry but you have kind of contradicted yourself there...you said that DP happens on a schedule and always hits you at 5.10am each morning. As I said, I stay steady overnight then spike once I am out and moving around regardless of the time of day.

DP starts around the early hours of the morning, which is why people wake up with high BS. I dont have high numbers in the morning, quite the opposite sometimes.

It definitely isn't DP. I could get up at 6am or 10am and my levels will be steady and low. It only happens when I start moving.

It's not Dawn Phenomenon as I'm steady overnight and dont start going up until I'm out of bed and moving. I split my basal - I take 14 units when I wake ( approx. 7am ) and 10 units around dinnertime ( 6.30 - 7.00 ) I did think about splitting dinner in half so 5 at dinner and 5 before bed so...

I get foot to the floor Syndrome when I wake. I take insulin before I get out of bed but I am really struggling to keep levels down in the morning. It seems to take aaaaages for my not so Novorapid to kick in and as a result i cannot eat breakfast or anything before lunch as I will spike.. I...

Today i had a ham salad brown bread sandwich for lunch. I took my insulin then went for a 20min walk. My arrow was pointing straight down on the Libre so I started to eat. I took the correct amount of insulin and my BG rose from 5.3 to 7.5 after 2 hours. Then I checked 30 min later and it was...
