Is it the thought of the possibility of hypo or fear of being in that range.....? For me hypos can come along 2, maybe 3 times a week......but they are down to small inaccuracies in dose or a unexpected increase in physical activity.....so I know that my levels wont continue to go to dangerous...

Hi, Sorry to hear you're feeling like this.... How old are you can I ask...? The Libre is a good bit of kit but its not essential to good/decent control...... knowledge of carbs and dose adjustment is... have you ever been taught any of that....? if not and your team aren't providing it...

what kind of spike are you seeing?

Interesting.... I will confirm I don't visit the news section often, if at all...... so its being suggested that the immune response is happening due to damaged insulin molecules as well as damaged beta cells...? so I should really be changing my response to reflect the immune systems dislike...

for Scotland anyway the general criteria is: type one on MDI or pump, testing 8 or more times a day and type one on MDI or pump who are unaware of hypos...... but each board is different in that some of prescribing away and others are rolling out small, select groups....

Everyone is different.............I certainly wouldn't go in to shift work assuming there would be any significant changes to basal rates..... however, as with anything else, you just need to keep testing and adjusting to compensate....

pretty sure its the beta cell that the immune system doesn't like.....the insulin is fine....;)

There will likely be a glucagon response from the alpha cells of the pancreas at some point as well.....this triggers the liver to release some of its energy stores so as to increase the glucose levels in the blood stream....... for diabetics though, especially long term ones, that response may...

Its hard when you are newly diagnosed because of the honeymoon effect.......but ultimately it is the insulin that is responsible for the lows...... the basal is the Levemir, yeah, so you could try removing that and see what happens......the only other option is to find something that you can...

If you're on insulin then the only reason it can be is the insulin.... you may need to stop the insulin, like try taking the basal away.....I assume that's the 1 unit.... what levels of low are you seeing off your meter...

The type one or pump shouldn't effect your ability to work any shifts at any time.....

I haven't read all the articles but my personal experience has been that no extra insulin has been delivered.... the tubing and reservoir is essentially its own wee vacuum and so I wouldn't expect to see much effect from any outside pressure variations....

I was on a uneven split also, cant remember the precise doses now, but they totalled about 70 units all in......

Welcome....... Look forward to hearing from you........

True, hadn't realised it was moving from one OS to another...

try searching for the apk file outwith the play store.......you can then install it regardless.......it may still have issues but at least you can try...

you shouldn't have to pay for an app you have already paid for.....

I think lower carb would be the first thing to do and then you can introduce smaller amounts as time goes by..... test more, so every meal and in between every meal, review your basal and insulin/carb ratios regularly [every few weeks], employ dose timing tactics to keep spike down..... best...

Did the diabetes manifest the normal way or have you some other condition?

Good your back down......... I treat a HI like any blood sugar result.......if its not in the target range, give insulin to get it there......obviously a HI is above 33 or thereabouts, so a simple calculation and off you go..... Understandably a shock having never seen it before.....
