Type 1 Brittle 28 years 3 half on pump Novarapid hypo awareness starts 1.8
Advice from Doctor 4 June - lower basals stabalise at higher bgs then awareness will come back and then begin to stabalise at lower bgs. This has kinda worked as hypo awareness has risen to 2.4 getting my bgs up has been a bit of a struggle as I have ended up peaking more often than not.
Yesterday I had 4 hypos - 3.3 @ 6am 3.3 @ 12.45 3.6 @ 16.00 and 2.2 @ 22.00pm levels in between were between 6 and 8.9
Woke up this morning on 4.1 had breakfast, usual dose of insulin now @ 9am I am 3.7
I can't seem to stop hypoing
In the las three days I have had 8 hypos, not including yesterday.
I am treating hypos with Ribena at the moment 21 grams or lucozade or chocolate when I can't find the liquid or glucose gel but that doesn't seem to work and I find I have to have nearly 6 of them (60g carbs) before I move.
The only thing I can think of doing is to drop all of the basals by 50% to get out of this cycle because nothing else seems to be working.
I have thought of calling the clinic but after my last appointment I have lost faith in their help and the promise of a cgm seems to have disappeared for me.
Has this sort of thing happened to anyone else?
What's the best thing to do because I can't cope with having all of these hypos anymore
What am I doing wrong?
