Same happened to me 2 yrs ago was stacking got it down to 42 but having hypos every day, told to ease of now oddly I'm at 60 over 7 percent, but few hypos and no neuropathy, do keep a tight eye in things and testing about 8 times a day

Mine is 42 about 5 hypos a week which I am trying to cut out, but I have graves disease but currently hypothyroid in the past week have had my thyroxine increased from 50 to 75 mg and now suddenly I am more insulin sensitive than normal, just adds another calculation to the mix! Sent from my...

Am interested in researching how difficult it is to maintain tight BG control whilst on a 'reduced' carb controlled diet ie approx 50 to 100g of carbs per day with an average GI. All comments welcome. I am T1 myself with Graves hyperthyroid but actually medicated for subclinical hypothyroidism

Correct mine last week was 42 down from 43 6 weeks ago, and down from 54 a yr ago after me aggressively controlling BG using insulin carb ratio and upping my basal and testing it was correct by fasting, had a few hypos but nothing generally under 3.5, which is acted on quickly and now I'm being...

My data readings are slightly distorted I record on average 6 times a day just using test strips not yet convinced about libre yet and am ocd about recording, always when first wake up and before meals and then when I dont feel right hence being 20% below 4 is probably higher than actual time...

So the only option to try to counter this is reduce carbs towards no carbs hence less insulin. Also note changing injection sites namely basal in buttocks thigh and bolus best around skin on stomach as absorbed quickest here

Agreed all makes perfect sense

Thanks for that I am currently 6% my endo wants 7% so if I aim for 6.5% about 47.5 hba1c then that's a compromise and we will see what happens to my spikes. If I could cut out bread completely that would help but that's one food I'm not willing to cut completely! Have a dietician on board so...

Exactly that's my conclusion the studies were carried out on patients with confirmed CVD we need a study with otherwise heathy patients. I have been testing by reducing my basal from 50 units per day to 35, applying 50 was how I reduced my hba1 from 54 to 42 over a yr, but now getting spikes...

My endo warned me that having regular too many hypos can damage your heart. Is there any actual clinical evidence of this?

My dietician made a comment that the less insulin you take its better for your health, apart from increasing your weight are there any other reasons?

Hi after I provided him with the data, however the results can be skewed rather as I will test more if I feel odd or there have been extremes of range. Very much trying to keep a strict range but I can be prone to over correcting one way or the other

Hi there, yes correct, I'm just using normal testing strips at the most using the mysugr app to record, on a cluster graph I'm in range ie 4.1 to 7.7 about 50% of the time 20% hypo, 30% hyper but not spiking more than 12. I worked out my carb factor ratio at 1unit to 6 g of carb and I only...

Over the past year I have reduced my level from 54 to 42 which now agrees to my Dr's ideal target, however my end has set a level of 53 is 7% rather than 6% as he feels I am having too many hypos whilst trying to maintain strict control. My motivation to reduce it was to reduce some neuropathy I...
