I have been slowly upping my dose of levmir over the last couple of weeks as the libre has shown me it was to low. im starting to get were i need to be for a stable line when im not eating.
However ive clearly been making up for the lack of levmir with larger novorapid does, this last weekend somthing seems to have hit and i need a less novorapid.
Problem is i now have no idea about ratios or what worked for foods previously. for instance for 40 carbs i had previously take 8 units. i did this yesterday with lunch and had a huge BS drop about an hour an a half after when the insulin was peaking.
Same goes for the morning, i have been waking up High in the morning mostly due to the levimir or being a little paranoid going to sleep with a lower blood sugar.
Today was the worse it has been in a while not really sure why though, i went to bed at 10 and woke up at 16 the libre shows a slow rise all night with a huge peak about an hour before i woke up.
previously to deal with this id take 4 units of Novorapid when i first wake up then an hour later have my breakfast (2 wheatabix) id take 8 ontop of this.
Today i took 5 units upon waking then a further 5 when i ate, 2 hours later and im now under 10 and still falling. if i had taken what i normaly do id likely be hypo by now.
could changing the dose have this effect? thing is i still think i need to up it more .
