Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jantype1" data-source="post: 2750860" data-attributes="member: 580650">I experience exactly the same.I take between 16 to 24 units of Levemir in the morning about an hour after breakfast, and  0 to 6 units of Novorapid before meals. I find that if I inject Levemir too early in the morning ie along with the Novorapid, I experience hypos at 10.30 am whereas if I inject later I usually manage to make lunchtime without having to snack. Or not, it depends.The nocturnal hypos are very frequent unfortunately and can sometimes last for over an hour even two. I feel exhausted most of the time. I'm continually adjusting my insulin and food intake to get some kind of stability. It occasionally works then it all goes haywire again and for no apparent reason. For example my morning cappuccino doesn't always have the same impact even though it is made to the same recipe and size everyday.....I've had blood test to check on my thyroid etc and all is ok there however the last time I spoke to my endo she suggested that it could be an unstable response due to fluctuating adrenaline/cortisol levels. At the moment I am trying to relax and not be too stressed out but this whole situation stresses me to breaking point sometimes, even tears.I am reluctant to try a pump for exactly the same reasons - I have a libre 2 and it doesn't always keep up with my ups and downs and I have been caught out a couple of times when I was having a hypo so there is no way that I would feel confident with a pump!I wish you well - this disease is a challenge a minute. My GP keeps telling me - look on the bright side! I could have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 10 years old! At least it left me in peace until I was 67.....yeah.Good luck to you. x</blockquote>
