[QUOTE="nicki92, post: 2486216, member: 550186"] Thank you for all the replies, I really appreciate every piece of advice and experience. I'm really struggling with this because even if they're not genuine lows I don't want to be woken up every night by the alarms, but of course because this is all new to me I'm scared to turn off the alarms. Every night after going to bed and injecting Tresiba my levels will decrease to around 5/5.5 (from whatever the starting value is), and then seem to stay between 4 and 5 all night. On the graphs I see slight fluctuations, including occasional dips below 3.8, which is where my alarm goes off. Last night it went off for the first time, I set an alarm for 15 minutes and checked again and I was at 4.5, so I left it. Then an hour later I was apparently too low again, so ate something. About a week ago after seeing my doctor I decreased the Tresiba from 6 to 4 units; I haven't seen any difference in my graphs/average BG since then. I'm wondering if I should decrease even further down to 2 (it's only in 2-unit increments). That seems crazy, especially given that when I was first told how much to inject in hospital I started on 10 units! The doctor also suggested injecting Tresiba earlier in the evening - e.g. with dinner - but that feels more difficult routine-wise. Also the night-time lows are at different times every night, sometimes an hour after going to bed and sometimes 6 hours later so I'm not sure this would help the issue! [/QUOTE]
