[QUOTE="brucie75, post: 2687686, member: 384132"] Hello everyone I have always been led to believe that one should not need to adjust basal insulin too often. However, I have to adjust my Tresiba regularly up and down. For instance, since Xmas the dosage has been between 7 and 10 units. I have just returned from holiday abroad when I always have to increase my long and acting insulin doses. Prior to my holiday, I was on 7 units of Tresiba and now I am on 9 units. I was expecting to have to reduce it again now I am back home but no need. More importantly, is why did my blood sugar shoot up from 4.3 to 24.2 in 3 hours after I went to bed last night and stay at 23/24 all night until I gave myself a correcting dose of short acting? I gave myself my usual 9 units of Tresiba at the usual time last night & had 10g more of snack than usual due to my relatively low BS. Any ideas? It is SO frustrating, especially as my HbA1 has been at 9% (79) for the past 2 weeks. David [/QUOTE]
