Ive been having some issues with morning BS Drops.
Ill use today as an example (ive been struggling with the Dawn Phanonanom recently)
I woke up this morning at 16.8 i took 5 units of novo rapid and 8 units of levvmir (the night before i had taken 13 units of levmir before sleep) had a shower and got ready about an hour and a half later i tested again to find i was still 16.8.
i had breakfast (wheatabix) around 30G Carbs and took 10 units.
2 hours later at 10AM i was 18.9, i took no more insulin because i am aware ive been experiencing drops, 2 hours after this i am 9.8. i dropped 9 points in 2 hours after my Novorapid should have peaked, i also get this but much milder in the late afternoon normally around 4pm
ive ruled out this being my Novorapid as it doesn't have this effect on me in the evening after dinner infact i seem to require more insulin at dinner per carb.
I feel this is really hurting my control as if i had been under 10 at 10am like i would like to be i would have experienced a pretty bad hypo.
i Feel like it must be a Levmir, but i assume its not designed to cause rapid drops in blood glucose, the other issue i have thats been worrying me is if it is the Levmir then maybe its not the Dawn Phanonanom ive been experiencing, and ive been getting serious lows in my sleep without knowing.
about 4 months ago i had almost perfect control but since i had a pretty close call hypo one night i have lost all confidence and have become hypophobic often treating for a hypo when i expect to go low rather waiting till i do. having these unpredictable drops that i cannot explain is really not helping me.
its almost like clock work and seems to happen at the same time everyday, if i do not each lunch at 12 i will contiune to drop and im not sure where it will stop. any help or thoughts you guys have on this would be great.
