Hello,
another question before I see my medical team at the end of next week. Diagnosed Type 1 in June and very likely In my honeymoon period. My levels are always between 4-6 during the day and 5-7 during the evening. My DN has emailed to say these levels are bit lower than what they would like, so reduce my basal insulin.
can someone explain why? I get the recommend levels for diabetics but why are these higher than non diabetic. I’ve never had a night hypos, have only had 2 hypos which were only at 3.9. Surely it would be good for a diabetic to have low levels? Are there any long term issues from having lower blood sugar? Other than risk of hypo?
Thanks
