[QUOTE="Jimmybetes, post: 2199533, member: 403141"] Ellie M, Thank you for your detailed reply I'm most grateful for your wisdom. You're right, I've not been doing enough cross referencing with fingerpricks. I have noticed the difference in both meters readings 50% of the time. The readings I reported could dawn phenomena and increased insulin resistance. Im not hungry on waking and like to get some exercise in before I do. I realise this could be pushing up BGs. Doh! But I take what you say to heart and might try forcing down a small sensible snack on waking and a tiny relative amount of insulin and look at how that effects levels. After a couple of weeks it might change my gut biome and make me want to eat first thing (although I have to get up at five some days to go to work). You argue that i may be now having too much basal....I think you're right! I do remember : insulin resistance and carb ratios can vary with time of day - so true! - as well as hormones and exercise. I'm taking what you say to my next appointment as these are excellent points to discuss. I'm having a minera coil fitted at the end of the month. A couple of years ago the gynecologist prescribed the progesterone pill. I took it without checking the adverse effects and feel stupid and very angry the Dr didnt flag them to me. Within 4 months I noticed BG readings of 5s pretty much every time I tested great! Up until month 6 by which time I'd lost a stone in weight (I'm slim already), I lost muscle and my face looked drawn in the cheeks, my gums receeded to that of a 65 year olds and had an abscess and lost a tooth, had terrible headaches too - BGs went haywire again from all the illness. So the GP assures me the hormones in the coil are a much lesser concentration and shouldn't 'travel' outside the womb. Hmmm... I'm obviously wary to spot the signs again but willing to give it a go as a last resort to see if it's worth it if it eases this terrible resistance each month. However, after what you say about eating straight after waking, maybe I have more to consider and should keep experimenting a couple more months? Pumps - what benefit would that have? - being able to set difference ratios for this time of the month? Eliminating the efforts of balance of levemir and novorapid, is that what you meant? Again, thank you so much for your words. [/QUOTE]
