[QUOTE="Esther1411, post: 441110, member: 37784"] Hello Me Again! Right so definately need to do this fasting basal testing to find out whats going on then. I'm kind of desperate (using the term loosely, I'm quite a laid back kind a gal) to get my stuff on a bit of a better trak as I'm going on holiday on tuesday and not only will there be a four hour time difference it will be quite hot and I will be staying in a hotel, which I always find quite difficult food wise, however very lovely in every other way! :D So for the last two nights I have gone to bed at a round 8 then tested at 4 am last night 5.2 and 3am thursday night 5.3 - so all good.(don't have to set the alarm, wake up at all sorts of time through the night just randomly) Then both mornings have woken at 4.3 and 4.2 respectively this morning I was shaking like I was quickly heading to hypo, I didn't actually get there luckily I got up quickly and had my breakfast - so no problem there but if I had of been in hotel I wouldn't have been able to get my food quick enough - and anyway feel that is s bit low to wake up to. SO if this carries on for tomorow too then the advice would be to lower my levemir? BUT my HBA1C has gone up not down, I am fairly confident about my carb counting and insulin ratio but have not been adding anything for the protein I eat (quite a lot) maybe I need to look into that. MAYBE either I need to increase my ratio for fast acting insulin in the afternoon evening (although I tend to get my carbs in in the mornings if I can) OR my levemir is not covering me for those last four hours and that is increasing my levels. Am I getting this right or is this a lot of waffle?? "golly gosh" this diabetes is a pain in the seating area! Hope everyone has happy levels today and a nice weekend x [/QUOTE]
