I Put on a lot of weight and kept in on for some years, this last year or 2 ive started carb counting and doing a low carb diet and reducing my insulin as far as i can go while still maintain control and have now lost close to 3 stone with just that and nothing else.

Insulin by definition is how you absorb sugar in your blood. so yes it causes weight gain, but only relative to what you eat. since i cut back and low carb ive lost 3 stone, with low carb i can take a lot less insulin and still maintain control

Yes, This last week has made life a little more difficult. Day Time insulin requirements have dropped off a bit, also had to eat somthing with a little bit of faster acting sugar with lunch due to the insulin acting faster than my sandwhich

I Wonder if the Hypo could have triggered some kind of Night Terror, if woken upbrubtly you can continue to dream while you are conscious, its a bit of a strange feeling often people experiencing this have the feeling off an "old Hag" type creature approaching them with a feeling of dread.

Hi There! Thanks for the reply. i have dropped my leimir and all insulin by a pretty large amount. Dropped my night time dose to 2 from 30 and my morning dose from 18 to 14. Strangely my Day time blood sugars have been a lot better and more stable since ive dropped the levimir which leads me...

Thanks, I'm pretty sure i didn't Double inject, i guess its possible the higher BS could have been something on my finger at somepoint i started cleaning my fingers with baby wipes but i think it was after this test. i may not have been 8 but i know i went up, as i felt myself drop down again...

This was my First Thought but i have a insulcheck on the Levmir pen and confirmed it was that one that i took. (i took it while in bed Novorapid isnt alowed in the bedroom to prevent this)

I had already been sitting up in bed with the light on for some time it happened for a while after i stood up. possibly caused by low blood pressure ? it was large patches of my vision but seemed to go away when my blood sugar came back up

Under the Dome had a T1 For some of Season 1, but the display was pretty inaccurate

i was in for my checkup in hospital once and they tested my blood sugar at around 6.0 and suggested i eat a biscuit so i wouldnt go hypo... took a while of explaining to them thats what i expected to be at, at that time

Also a Fellow Caffeine Addict drinking many cups a day. it doesn't touch my sugar levels even with the drop of milk i put in it. Are you using instant? maybe there is some sugar additive? Real Coffee Shouldnt really effect you.
