Thanks@evilclive I always feel better on the day transitioning between dose changes. My lows are between midnight and 10am. Adjusting novorapid ratio daily was 5 for breakfast now at 2. Im taking Tresiba slightly earlier everyday hope I can eventually get a good night's sleep. Thanks

Hi another question about Tresiba. If I adjusted Tresiba daily by say one unit as in 19 one day then 20 the next day and rotated would there be any harmful effects? I know we are advised to leave for 3 days to establish pattern but my life is very different every day. I adjust my...

I agree great minds think alike! Thank you@samjb

Thanks @jackois and samjb I injected 19 Tresiba at 9.45pm last night awake at 2am ate biscuit to prevent hypo. 6am this morning blood sugar 5.1. Ate breakfast early and reduced novorapid slightly. Going to stay home today, rest and monitor. My plan is to inject Tresiba at 8.45pm tonight and...

Thanks I've injected 19 units of Tresiba. My Ketones are 0.1. Will monitor through night and hopefully blood sugars will hold at good level and Ketones will stay put too. Fingers crossed. Thanks all Tracie

Hi@Karen8967 Thanks for your reply. I agree Libre is out by around 2 levels I've been consistently under 3 in early hours of morning on finger prick tests over 6 nights. Such hard work hope I turn a corner soon. Thanks Tracie

Hi@Helensarmy Thanks for your reply . Its been over 5 days now since finishing Toujeo I have been ringing Nurses they have not phoned me to see how I'm getting on. When I voiced my concern about using a like for like dose I was told that this was correct for me. Other patients I know started...

Meant to say have to go to bed at levels of 12 but still going low. Im eating around 6/7pm doing carb counting around 20 carb if I don't put right amount of insulin in I feel unwell. Then get to Tresiba dose 10pm and have to push levels up. Thank

Hi having to wake at 2am as low and eating oatmeal biscuits then low at 6am then eating Cereal bar. This has been for last 6 night's. I will be reducing dose tonight thinking of 19. Thanks

Hi can anyone send me a link for basal monitoring and adjusting dose. Started on Tresiba last Thursday night at 22 units for three days Changed to 21 units for three days but had 4 lows since mid night through morning. Thinking of 19 units tonight. Want to bring back dose from 10pm to...

Really sorry to hear you've had a rough time I went through similar back in June. Its really hard getting back on track plus changed insulin which didn't work out so just started Tresiba. When I was admitted to hospital my blood sugars separated from my Ketones I had loads of saline and after...

Thanks for your replies. I have been waiting a long time for this appointment . Just hope endo can tell me why I get jumpy palpitations every day through day even when my levels are good I have a whole load of other symptoms just live in hope there will be some way forward improving what's...

Hi I have been referred to endocrinology. I think I may have thyroid, hormone and circulation problems . Not sure what to expect and if I can request specific tests. I want to make the most of my appointment. Thanks

Hi Knikki As predicted I'm running low find as soon as I inject Tresiba my levels drop. I'm eating 6/7pm and fast acting then get to 10pm. If I don't use novorapid feel unwell so having to push levels up to 12 before bed to stop immediately fall in levels. Last night I had finger of brown bread...

Hi@jonlennon I was a single mum working full time when I was diagnosed 17 years ago. I went back to work, did my own research and found an insulin regime that was best for me. This forum is brilliant I get lots of help and support here as will you. Just remember you are not alone if you need...

My tresiba is due at 10pm feel all shaky think I'm going cold turkey although never done drugs but imagine this is what it's like. (not hypo) not sure if Toujeo is completely out and body is asking for Tresiba. Dilemma is background insulin controls my Ketones already feeling like will rise. Or...

Thanks yes I know will be hard work hope it's worth it.

Hi@knikki Thanks for your reply. How did you move your dose from night to morning. I was thinking along the same lines as you try moving to morning can deal with lows better if awake. Were you eating anything before bedtime? Weird that DSN recommended against splitting your Lantus as my...

Hi I'm under care of hospital but speak to DSNs regularly I'm due to see endocrinologist end of November. I did speak to my GP yesterday but find surgery tends to leave the decision making to hospital and nurses. However they did send out a prescribing nurse last night who was brilliant So...

Didn't get on with Toujeo find unpredictable levels up most nights on sofa trying to sort out highs and lows plus various symptoms with. Used to be on Lantus but switched to Toujeo after I came off pump and back to mdis. Felt great earlier knew I would but as the insulin doses take hold not...
