Hey all,
I'm a Type 1 diabetic who for the past 4-5 years have been fighting a constant battle with the before bed BG and the waking up BG. I'm currently on Lantus and take 18 units which has been reduced since i was first diagnosed 12 years ago. The issue i have if i go to bed with a BG of say 6 when i wake up my blood will be low...the same applies for if my blood is 6-9 it will almost definitely be low come 6-7am.
I do use Freestyle libre and can definitely see the trend that it seems to dip whilst i'm a sleep, i have tried reducing the Lantus dose further but i seem to find that my mid morning blood sugar shoots up..
Wonder if anyone else has been fighting a similar battle?
