[QUOTE="Catsymoo, post: 1771939, member: 45466"] I'm seeing my DSN again on Tuesday to possibly switch to a new basal insulin. I've had so many ups and downs the last few days it's unreal. Still can't figure out what the hell is going on. I want to mention my sleeping pattern is normal now. I'm waking up at 7-8am and going to bed at 10-12pm. Blood sugar was slightly too low yesterday morning when I got up. Around 4. I drank a 10g carb protein shake for breakfast, no bolus for that, just to raise me a little. I had some pasta later on, bolused the right amount.. lunch time I'm sitting at 20.7. Took a correction of 9 units and I dropped down to 11 in 40 mins, then to 6 and I had to eat some jaffa cakes to prevent a hypo as I could feel it coming. Went up to 13, then 17 2 hours after that. Corrected again later with a few units and went for a walk, dropped to 7 before the correction peaked. I ate 2 digestives and 2 chicken nuggets at 8pm to prevent a hypo overnight, and some cheese because I was starving but my reflux has been too bad to eat a big meal. I had my Lantus normal time, about 6pm. Woke up this morning at 7:30am, sitting at 10.4. I took 3 units of Lantus (my nurse told me to if I am waking up high), I corrected with 3 units of Novorapid and ate an avocado and some mackerel. 2 hours later I'm at 11.3. I've just tested again, and I'm at 12.4 now. Reaaaaally don't get this. Lantus is either working too well or not at all. I am so miserable right now. I think it might be to do with my stomach problems? My reflux has been so horrible the last few days. I don't have it in the morning, I swear it comes on about an hour after I take my anti-acid medication... I've tried going off the Omeprazole and for a few days it helps, then my reflux comes back, then I go back on the meds and it goes away, then after a couple weeks it stops working. I honestly can't wait for my gastroscopy at this point. [/QUOTE]
