Hi all. I'm hoping you can all help and impart your collective knowledge to hopefully help me better understand what I'm experiencing.
I've recently swapped from abasaglar to toujeo for my mdi long acting insulin. I've also titrated my dose up to try pin point where I should be. All well and good.
But, I've found the dose I'm at now seems to nudge me down into range, and then I sit there, stable. For example, last night I went to bed at 13.0 mmol/l. I had no rapid acting insulin on board, and injected my long acting dose. By 3am, I was down to 5.0, but then I sat there, stable.
I'm not sure if this is what I should aim for, or if my basal is too high, but finding equilibrium while in range. Or I'm still experiencing a waning honeymoon period, and my basal is actually spot on. I'm 1.5(ish) years into diagnosis.
This sounds silly to be confused about given that I'm in range. But I guess I feel uncomfortable that I'm experiencing something that I can't explain. Last night, for example, I refrained from doing a correction dose to observe my basal action. I'm now hesitant to correct any highs overnight now given that I seem to naturally find my way in range on this basal dose. I wondered what everyone else's experiences are. Thanks all!
