I go to bed with sugars of 8 - 9 and end up in the morning with low sugars below 4

Hi. I seem to be having problems with my novarapid insulin. I count my carbs correctly, and inject 10mins before eating, but my sugars are high after 2 hours and still after 4 hrs then all of a sudden I can go from 7 to 3 in an hour. Does anyone have this problem.

Hi, it's sound as if your having a nightmare. You have to advise him and not tell him the wrongs and rights of not using back ground insulin. He is a adult now and is above the age of consent. But giving him your support and love , and not putting pressure on him, hopefully his mind will change...

Hi. Yes I recently got new insulin. Am due to go on a pump in Jan. So might sort the problem.

Novarapid and lantas

Hi m8. I know how you feel. I've been T1D for 23yrs now , and to tell you the truth I don't know how I've coped. There has been times when I feel that's enough I what to get of the bus. But I think and thank God that am alive and can breath the air. You just have to push through the dark time...

Hi, come to think off it. I've found that I've the same problem just thought my carb counting was wrong. I find that I need to double the dose. Which sometimes brings my sugars down. Never thought of it that way.

That's it. Everyone should have the chance to receive everything that's available.

They do rise. If I just have a coffee.

My DN told me to change site, which I do, and change my needle every injection. I've been T1 for 22 yrs so there is a limited use now for injection sites. I do change my breakfast and sometimes don't eat.

Short acting insulin, should work 90 minutes after injecting. And I know that after 4 hours the BS should be at a lower level. But it's sometimes after that 4 hours up to six hours later that am getting a hypo. Once I've had breakfast my sugars rise to 14-16. I've never heard of the saying dawn...

Hi. Am having problems with my morning BS. Am on lantas for night time, and nova rapid during the day. My BS in the morning could be 5.0 and I take 2 slices of toast at 35 carbs. But I find that my sugars rise high, I take double the dose of insulin to try and make sure it doesn't happen. But...

Sounds good. I don't think ourselves in the UK have get there heads around funding or insurance. We're a bit behind the times. Everything has to have a cost, and people's life shouldn't be like that. If I put the hard work in, then I should be rewarded.

I was looking at some of the CGMS on the market. I lead a very hectic work life, and try the same in life. I at least check my BS 5 -10 times a day. I try my hardest to keep my sugars in range 5 -10. But sometimes find it has its own agenda. I was seeing if anyone uses just a CGM and if they...

Not everyone is the same. People are different. So what works for someone might not work for another.

Am going to ask about a CGM, and I've tried several insurance companies about funding me. I have a busy job with long hours and sometimes don't have the time to finger pricking.

Hi, I've been type 1 for 21 yrs now. And I don't know how I have coped. But it's hard too give support. I have my bad days and good days. I would suggest you get the advice from your DR, and DN. It's not easy but you have to stay positive and think of what makes you happy and the things that...

Cheers. I tend to eat salads for lunch,

Heard good reports and bad reports on the freestyle libre. That's expensive per month.
