[QUOTE="goji, post: 108001, member: 11291"] Hi Rebecca I agree with the others, perhaps ring your clinic and ask for advice on how to adjust the doses. Maybe when you go for your appointment, ask the diabetologist to check your cortisol levels. Low cortisol (addison's) can present as recurrent hypoglycemia and reduced insulin intake in Type 1 diabetics .... [url=http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/extract/312/7046/1601]http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/extract/312/7046/1601[/url] ...and is accompanied by symptoms like nausea, dizziness, joint and muscle pains and severe fatigue. Usually you would expect to see weight loss and appetite loss too though. Addison's is extremely rare so it is unlikely that you have this but you could at least be screened as it is an autoimmune disease and so is slightly more common in people with Type 1 diabetes than in the general population.
