:oops: forgot to pop my head in the last couple of days 5.6 yesterday and a bad 8.1 today although an on purpose self inflicted 8.1 xx

I wouldn't say Tresiba is very suitable on differing amounts of exercise, yes it is a great basal but not as flexile as what you'd probably need/want, any dose adjustments take at least 3 days to take effect so I would tend to think you'd experience quite a few lows over trying to reduce it, I...

Morning Very cold here again, bought myself a new duvet online last night, not due until 3/12-5/12, guess I'll just have to shiver every night until then :rolleyes: 7.5 here xx

Not strictly true, there are quite low 85%'s and also higher % than 90%

Sounds lovely, we love chicken stuffed with mozzarella and spring onions and wrapped in prosciutto, one of our faves xx

Morning, doing well, third day in a row I've been here! LOL Sorry to mess todays readings up seen as everyone else is in the 4's, I'm spoiling things with a 6.4, sorry! HAHA xx

My last labs were spot on with Libre prediction xx

Morning Another bad night sleep, was wandering about at half 2 then up just after 5, absolutely baltic as well so shivering when I climb into bed isn't the brst 8.8 for me this morning, spent most of yesterday in the 8's due to the low needing so many carbs to fix Have a nice day folks...

Morning 3.9 so 3 glucose tabs, an hour later before breakfast still blooming 3.9! 2 more glucose tabs and bolused for breakfast, want to go back to bed! Been up since just after 5 and really can't be bothered with this today xx

Its an individual thing, some go low some will spike some it won't effect xx

Thanks :) I must get back to regularly posting! And thanks, I suffer OCD and especially through the current situation its worse than its ever been, I'll be unable to wash my hands when I want next Friday and the following week and I'm petrified my hand sanitizer won't keep me safe but hey ho xx

So generally a teaspoon is 5g, making the carbs 0.7g, I used to add cocoa powder to things and it never effected me but I suppose it depends how sensitive to carbs you personally are so unfortunately its a question only you can work on finding an answer for through testing xx

Metformin doesn't usually cause constipation, quite the opposite in fact Ask for a pharmacists advice on recommendations to relieve your symptoms and if the issue doesn't resolve book yourself in with your GP xx

Morning Back again after going AWOL for a while (again) lol 6.2 today after 2 dark chocolate digestives at bedtime to see me safely through the night, only just got my basal ok and looks like I' might need to bring it back down again :rolleyes: I'll feed it as need be for the next couple of...

What was the 59 units for? For a blood sugar of 13 unless you snacked a lot then I would say that's pretty high insulin amounts for anyone, I would've personally been unconscious if I hadn't eaten 570g carbs along with that and there's no way on earth I could eat that much in one sitting, I eat...

Can also cause eye issues, been there, done it, got the scarring to the eyes from treatments

Thanks, I've worked hard and achieved results like this before the Libre through just finger pricking, I'm a little more cautious and strict than most though, good control dealt me 2 different eye complications, the first less than a month after I was diagnosed so I don't take the risk of...

Well it may be best to take some carbs on board when you are about to head to bed if below a certain level to stop you from dipping too low For instance last night I was 7.0 when I went to bed and I know I tend to dip or drop by getting up at 5:30am so I had 1 and a half digestive biscuits to...

It sounds more like your basal dose being an issue, your bolus won't work as it should if your basal dose isn't as near to perfect as it can be xx

Right I'd definitely suggest you perform a basal test, if that seems fine and keeps you level then I'd possibly look at your bolus ratios, do you spike badly after meals? Do you have something to eat before going to bed if below a certain level etc? xx
