[QUOTE="nigelho, post: 298644, member: 41170"] Hi Nicklenocky, Sorry to hear about your dropping BGs. I agree that you could be on too much lantus and maybe, even too much novorapid. What do you do for your work??? .. I too have problems with fast dropping BGs when I do any physical work.. I'm a grocries online driver and the job is pretty physical at times. At the end of my shift I've gone from 10s to 3s within 1/2 half hour while sitting in the canteen, I have to make sure that I eat a sandwich or a carb snack. I've found that I cannot wait to have my tea around 5-6pm as most people otherwise I'll be in hypo. I've looked at your times and readings and it seems that you need to 'snack' between your meal times. I know it doesn't sound like how diabetics should eat but maybe that's what your body needs. Trying to keep my readings around 4-7 is TOO LOW for me especially when I'm at work. I use less bolus insulin during work days to keep me from going into hypo. I also run between 7-10 during work days and a bit less on my day offs. I used to be on novorapid and levemir and later lantus but after 3 years I had to CHANGE insulins to PORCINE because of the BADDDDD side effects on analogue insulins. Please don't get het up if your BGs are higher than 4-7. Remember we are all different and our body's needs respond differently. Seeing that you drop quite quickly during the day try reducing the lantus and even reduce the novorapid by a couple of units. [/QUOTE]
