[QUOTE="vespa, post: 349197, member: 55556"] Hi all, I am quite new to this since I was diagnosed type 1 about 6 weeks ago, so I am still learning and I do have a question if anyone with experience can advise me in. The first week I was high averaging 15.0 peaked at 20.0 once, since then I have come down a great deal and is levelling off 90 % of the time, now I am occasionally dipping to 3.8 one or twice a week, I don't feel any hypo and do eat brown bread to carb up to compensate, I was wondering if I should tweak back on insulin to increase sugar level so that it doesn't go too low ? or other ways of ensuring an even sugar level preferably at 5.0. One other question if I tweak back, will the sugar will still be utilised or will it will build up or just gets washed away in urine ? I need to stabilise it if I want to be able to get my C and D driving entitlement back, I think they need to be around 5.0 mmol/l I am on Novomix 30 using 18 morning usually around 8am-9am and 12 units 5pm-6pm, injecting twice daily. Any suggestions please, Thanks. [/QUOTE]
