[QUOTE="Fallenstar, post: 223123, member: 36659"] Hi I agree with Herbie in that it could be your Basal that is too high, it looks like it to me with the results you have posted. I was like this on Lantus and had a lot of sudden drops .I had to drop mine right back nearly by half(Lantus) and it helped a great deal with Hypo's. I have recently moved over to Levemir which I have found a much better Basal for me all round, I need to take more of this and split the dose but it gives me a much steadier even profile...no sudden drops and I don't drop at the speed I did on Lantus...That Lantus was like rocket fuel for me :roll: And I always felt lousy on it...I love the Levemir. Try a good drop in it for a week and see how you go,you can always increase it back if you find your sugars get high. You sometimes need to be aggressive in your experimenting to get to the bottom of what will work for you or what is going wrong..obviously seek expert advice on it all though, but your patterns look very familiar to me and it took a big drop in Lantus to get me from dropping all the time..infect from 22 units AM down to 12, obviously my Bolus slightly increased but I stopped with the nighttime Hypo's and sudden daytime drops. Good luck hope it works out for you [/QUOTE]
