[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 937994, member: 17713"] One thing.. Why is a dosage of 20 units a say making things complicated? Heck, it doesn't matter what your dosage is providing you can get good levels. I know what you mean by fluctuating levels.. My levels could swing for a number of reasons.. A) days of getting up early or late... (Due to hubbys shifts) I had two basal rates for this and switched over the night before his shift changed) B) I have slow colonic transit and know that at times when my stomach struggles my levels would shoot up for days. Flaxseed remedied this C) days off to days working.. Again needing a different profile due to being a gardener daytime workwise and still busy when off but slightly less. Have you been offered a CGM or a freestyle libre at all? When dancing do you literally dance for hours at a time? Or do you have any break etc? I don't understand why your consultant has not consudered a cgm to enable you to do dancing without fear of hypo's etc. [/QUOTE]
