Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can give me some advice. I use levermir and Novorapid. I take my Levermir at about 9pm each evening. I have been type 1 for about 6 1/2 years and have had quite good control.
Over the past couple of weeks though I have started to need more insulin and I don't know why. I am doing the same amount of exercise, eating the same foods and I am not ill or stressed. The evenings are being the most challenging as I will get blood sugars of about 4.0 two hours after my evening meal and by around 10pm they are 10.0 - 12.0. (Without me having eaten anything.) So each evening I am needing extra novorapid at about 10pm to sort my sugar levels out.
I thought there was something wrong with my insulin so I threw it away and got new ones out of the fridge but it didn't really do anything.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or how I can sort it out? My doctor isn't very helpful.
Thanks,
Gayle
