Bloody loads but I'm back at work after six weeks off so I need to adjust a bit I think. Doctor thinks HBA1C is too low and one dsn said at that level with possible onset of complications it's a higher risk of mortality. Another dsn said that at that level I'm minimising the risk of complications :/
I use Levemir twice a day(when I wake up-20U--Night-15U). I also use Novorapid thrice a day.(6-8U)My blood glucose is between 4-7,5 mol.That is a lot hypo's in a week, which insulins do you use so we can advise further?

6-7 hypoglicemia in a week is too harmful ?
We have to develop ourselves about hyposCounted it and it was 10 this week. And 10 the week before. Oh bum :/
Thanks for reply.that sounds too many, do you have a good dr/nurse helping you? I would see your Dr and get your doses checked
I don't know if Turkey uses EU or USA blood glucose numbers on their home meters
Most T1 here will suggest you start with a basal check

ask your questions to @noblehead , he is very clever and has offered to help you.Thanks for reply.
You think I use Levemir wrongly don't you? Lastly What would you like to think about pre meal and post meal bg levels?
Pre meal-4.7 mol
Post meal 1 hour-6.1 mol
Post meal 2 hours-4.6 mol
Break meal(15-20 gr carbs)
After break meal 1 hour-7.2 mol
After break meal 2 hour-6.1 mol
After break meal 3 hour-5.3 mol
You think Is way normal, good ?

Thanks a lot.Your postprandial bg levels at 4.6 (at the 2 hours mark) is too low as your quick acting insulin is still active and can be up to 4-5 hours after injecting, you need to do some basal checks first above all else, when you've done that you can then look at your meal-time insulin ratio's, the BDEC link I give earlier covers all this.
i choose whether or not to hypo, my DSN told me i should have at least 2 a week as to not maintain too high levels all week, i know what a hypo feels like even when im asleep I know when to wake up and have something
