Hi Guys hope you can clear this up with your pooled knowledge base
I have been diagnosed type 1 since New Years Eve (see my introduction about it) using Novomix 30 and metformin originally I was on 18 unit morning and 16 evening,over time since being high at the start then going down to normalish range, since then I gradually went down 2 units a time until eventually I get to 10 unit morning and 8 evening, yet in spite of that I still tend to go down to 4.0 on occasions I go down to 3.5, I have to keep eating and checking for it to go up, I also noticed that when I use metformin it goes lower, I am thinking of going down to 8 units morning and 6 units night.
Sometimes when I go round walking for a while, I pop a glucotab every so often to keep my level up, like a car topping up petrol as it goes along as the way I see it.
Did any of you experience this and what it could be ? If I do go down to 0 units, I could well be no longer Diabetic ! or is actually type 2 ?
