Hi ive been type one Diabetic since I was 13/14. I’m now 21, my control has always been excellent.
I’m on Levemir and Novarapid.
For context I usually give myself 20 Levemir @ 6am for the day and 16 @ 6pm at night. I’m active & reguarly workout ect. This normally works fine with me and I may give a unit or two with certain meals If they are carb heavy.
Last Sunday I gave my usual Levemir dose of 20 for the day. Literally all day my blood sugars would not rise, I wasn’t I’ll or anything. I track my food and I had eaten over 400 grams of carbohydrates including 120 sugar throughout the day to try and get them above 4.0.
I had given no nova rapid insulin at all.
After that day I dropped my Levemir to 14 @6am and 7@6pm for the following week. It’s now Saturday and has been working okay and back to usual. However today I’m experiencing the same issue as last weekend, I’m not doing more exercise and I have barely moved all day, I’m usually doing about 10K steps with work but have done 2k so far, so nothing new.
I have currently eaten 180g of carbs and 90g of that being sugar and my levels haven’t gone above 3.4.
I’m totally stumped to why this is happening it’s driving me crazy! Can any one give me any insight as to why and what I can do to fix this?! Thanks!
