Morning Levels

Hi @Jc3131, For how long have you been diagnosed with T1 diabetes?
Please note that the following is not professional opinion or advice.
Persons who lose their pancreas gland entirely may have insulin requirements as such:
Units of insulin :------------------long acting------------ short acting----The Clinical Outcomes
Table 3------------ study 1 --------4 - 20-------------------15 - 32-------After Total Pancreatectomy
-----------------------study 2 -------- 7 - 48--------------------7 - 70-------Suzuki et al
-----------------------study 3 -------- 0- 16 -------------------10 - 28-------DigSurg 2017 34 142-150
Of course the weight of each patient, the fact that they are more prone to hypos and thus doses
might be adjusted to avoid hypos rather than achieve optimal BSL control and needed a higher
fat and calorie diet etc also influence the figures.
It might however give you an idea of what one's insulin requirements might be like after the
honeymoon period is over.
You will need to speak with your dsn/doctor about dosage adjustments as soon as you can.
As you note sensitivity of injected insulin (= ability of a given dose to lower blood sugar) varies
with exercise, diet, stress, concurrent illness, the weather and season, and beta cell function.
Best Wishes in 'nailing' this situation, It takes patience, trial and error and a sense of humour>
Please let us know of your progress!!

A 2.8 rise in the mornings isn't too bad really. BUT yeah, it could be your honeymoon period coming to an end AND it could be the fact that you are off work and not so active. From what you have explained it looks more likely to be your honeymoon period is coming to an end. Have a word with your DSN about increasing your insulin ratios and your Lantus
