She can't she's got cognitive problems after acquired brain injury. She can't understand numbers either
Ah, that explains a lot......

OK if she is suddenly physically inactive all the time that makes sense as a reason for the continuing hypo(s) despite basal only.It's on waking (pre bed was 7)
No exercise coz her legs killing her following the osseous canulation. No bolus
Stress - well she's had a physical body stress and is fed up with the illness.
What would you reduce to?
As was explained earlier in the thread @novorapidboi26 ;-)She can't she's got cognitive problems after acquired brain injury. She can't understand numbers either

Well we reduced the lantus to 26 last night. She woke up with 4.1 bm but was very tired
I asked her dad to give her the other meds she has and went to work.
Rang when I got there he's taken her to a and e hypo and she's on a drip.
If she comes back tonight apart from reducing to 24 units - any other ideas?
No
Didn't realise it was going to be dropping as less than a week ago she was doing fine on 32 units and she had 26 last night!
Def dropping it hugely tonight.
Wildly and unpredictably. :-(She's on a reducing steroid dose. Steroids increase blood glucose.
Worth asking though generally only hospitals provide CGM loans. As far as I know anyway.Well maybe I could ask community diabetes team?
OK in general with her frequent hypos unexplained I would be ultra conservative and reducing all doses and all ratios until an explanation emerged. I would be testing frequently but definitely erring on the side of high BG rather than low BG. High BG and frequent testing is not going to kill anyone. Low BG might, even with a lot of testing. Not trying to scare you or anything but hypos pose a much more acute risk than high BG does, particularly for a young woman who is unable to manage her own condition at the moment. :-(I would be interested in your opinion at that time spiker?
Not anything else.
100% my responsibility
