Heads all over the place

Hi Mariem

If you can ask about a DAFNE course and if they have one in your area.

Did your DSN teach you about matching your insulin with the carbohydrates that you eat?

It sounds to me that your night sweats are hypos do you test your blood glucose after this happens?
Ideally you should test your BG before you go to bed and the pre-bed range should be between 6.5-8.0.
You could either be taking too much NovoRapid with your last meal/snack or too much Insultard at night. Too much of these will drop your BG and cause the hypos.

I would for 3 days test regularly test your BG and see if a pattern emerges. Definitely ring your DSN and tell them that you having hypos in the night, as long as you have your BG testings then I am sure that you and your DSN can sort something out

Good luck and don't forget to ask about the DAFNE course.

Hi Mariem

Hypos are caused by too much insulin in the body which lowers your BG.

Moving forwards I believe you need to test your BG after your night sweats to see if your BG is high or low.

Regarding your BG testing and the 2 hr testing after your injection, NovoRapid can take between 2-5 hours to work after you have eaten. Testing 2hrs after you have eaten/taken your insulin is not a good idea as the insulin is still breaking down your food and will give you a high reading.
I use NovoRapid and find a 4hr gap is a good time to test to see if I have taken enough of it to cover the carbohydrates that I have eaten.

Hope this helps for the time being but do get in touch with your diabetic team to let them know what is happening
