Hi, up until the last 3 weeks my overnight results were excellent, normally a level 6.5mmol/L.
I'm using Libre 1 with XDrip via MM.
Now I'm having high readings at 01:30 to 02:30 AM. Typically reaching 12 mmol/L.
If I catch it early enough (9mmol/L) I take a correction dose only and my BS comes down nicely within 1.5 hours.
If I miss that sweet spot, I'll be taking correction dose and on my bike trainer over a 2 hour period and really fighting with it.
My carbs remain constant, and nothing else has really changed. I do have unplanned bursts of activity at work, which I treat any impending or occurring low blood sugars successfully and things seem to level out well.
I've never really suffered from dawn phenomenon (apart from struggling to pronounce it)!
I'm using Humalog and Tresiba.
I can't increase my evening meal dose as that will cause low BS right before bed, I don't want to even attempt a basal test currently (or turn off my XDrip alarms) as I fear without my overnight corrections I'll be very high when I wake and it would be for a prolonged period.
So I'm finding it absolutely exhausting, I've emailed my DN and awaiting a response.
And I don't really know how to tackle what to adjust to come up with a solution.
And what has suddenly changed to cause this?
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that I could try...
Thanks
