[QUOTE="EmChan, post: 1834540, member: 485258"] Hi, my initial thought is that your husband is still in honeymoon. However, my personal experience (T1 for 15 years) is that I was having hypo-unawareness through the night, which I only discovered after using the libre. My levels would drop below 3.5 for a few hours and then rise up again, so I never knew any different in the morning despite being in quite a dangerous position in the night. Prior to discovering this I had been managing on the same treatment plan for around 10 years, with no overnight testing and consistently good HBA1C results... So have no indication of how long this had been a problem and no way to tell that anything was wrong. Its great that your husband has his levemir now, but if you guys ever find yourselves in that situation again would recommend getting hold of basal any way you can and not risking taking bolus instead because you think it worked in the past.
