Hi @Clairewills123 , what kind of guidance have you received from your endo or diabetes nurse?
Lots of lows are not good, but we cannot give any dosing advice on the forum.

Please try to contact your diabetes nurse urgently first thing tomorrow, you need more guidance on adjusting your doses than you're currently receiving!

Hi,

No one can give dosing advice on the forum.
You do need to work with & consult your HCPs on this issue.

You would probably be correct that there needs to be a fine tuning of the “long lasting” or basal insulin.
Is this the only insulin you are prescribed??

Basal testing is the “rule of thumb” regarding an insulin regime, making sure the foundations are correct.
