Hi everyone!
First - I'm not a native speaker. I hope I'll be able to write comprehensibly.
In the last to weeks I have lowered my Insulin (Lantus once a day) gradually from 50 to 25 units.
That seemed advisable, due to my fasting glucose levels being around 3.6 to 5. (My advised range is 5.6 to 7.8)
Also during the day I was often quite low (typically around 4.4).
Now last night I checked before I went to sleep and I was at 3.8. Also feeling quite low. So I ate about 50g of carbs (I know, to much.) 90 minutes later I was only at 4.1. 30g more carbs got me to 5.6.
I fully expected a high fasting level after that binge, but I was only at 6.
Background information: I lost 5 stone in the last 7 month. But this was gradually. This decreased need for insulin only has only occured the last two weeks.
I'm eating quite high carb atm
Is this a case of 'hurray, it's working', or could there be something else going on?
Thank you so much for your input.
