[QUOTE="Haidi, post: 2306216, member: 530280"] Hello, Rokaab, and thanks for your reply. :) I understand that this forum should not serve to replace the advice he gets from medical professionals, but in his case, all the advice he had been given on diagnosis was 'buy Tresiba and NovoRapid in a pharmacy and inject the former in the mornings and the latter with meals' & 'don't forget to check your blood glucose in the meantime'. And that's about it. No carb counting and insulin-to-carb ratio, no advice on his diet (except for 'don't eat much sugars'), no advice on hypos, on DKA, on doses management, basal adjustment, CGM... Nothing at all. His GP is either as clueless about type 1 as one gets, or completely indifferent about the condition of their patients. And from what I've managed to gather in my short time on this forum, just about anyone living with type 1 knows more than my brother's GP does, so I'll gladly take any advice I can get on here (or will at least consider it and try and see how it works in his specific case). :) We will definitely try to keep a log from now on and try to look for some patterns to hopefully come up with something useful that would help us figure out what's causing these continuous spikes. Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
