My husband is 5 weeks into his diagnosis. We've had found this forum a strength of support and knowledge.
We cannot get his levels at different points in the day lower than 7 something. The GP advised we aim to get lower than this 7.
Is it worth upping his long lasting insulin by two units to see if that would give him a lower reading first thing in the morning?
He hasn't done dafne so we are carb counting just by self teaching and momentarily he is working on the ration 1/2:10 - more than that and he was getting lots of hypos!!
Advice on getting these levels would be amazing thank you. He started back at the gym this week, slowly reintroducing exercise and this has helped.
Thank you
