[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2306186, member: 450212"] [USER=530280]@Haidi[/USER] I'm afraid we are not allowed to give advice on dosages, your brother should be abel to ask for a referral to a hospital clinic and they should be able to help with dosages and such - and unless his GP has a very good diabetic nurse or doctor who happens to know a lot about T1 then I wouldn't expect too much help from them as they just don't have the knowledge. Looking at that graph (which is far flatter than mine ever is) you can see his levels dropped back to around 6ish all night so yes it's a good job he didn't take a correction. Keeping a log is definitely a good idea. Also note that regarding the basal insulin (thats the Tresiba), our bodies don't always need exactly the same background level as at other times, I know my levels drop between midnight and 3am for instance without any fast acting insulin being involved, so getting a flat line can be almost impossible.
