[QUOTE="paulpapa, post: 1119568, member: 243591"] Hi all I try to stay positive with my diabetes but lately it's been really getting to me. I'm training to be a teacher and this is easily the most stressful year of my life with work and my health. I went and saw my DSN on Tuesday and I was there for three hours - not in the waiting room - with her talking. I've been having troubles with my blood sugars - hypos and hypers. I think that my basal rate was fixed as it was flat in the morning when I skipped breakfast. So that's one bonus. She suggested that I might be insulin resistant as previously I had high morning readings, but when I go to sleep in a good place the readings are pretty much in the same place when I wake up. That's made me think that the pre-bed Levermir at 10:30p.m. is doing its job properly. She suggested I adjust the morning Levermir to be taken at 8a.m. rather than 10:40a.m. when I usually took it (when I wasn't teaching) so it could start kicking in before the other one runs out. Her thinking was I'd need the help keeping the sugars lower in the a.m. It seems to be working. My issue is that as soon as I eat carbs my BG shoots up. The DSN advised me to play around with my bolus ratios. I tried doing correction doses today nothing big just 3 units and it made me hypo. I did one uni correction tonight and it's done nothing. I can't find any rhyme or reason to it. I've included a link to my Libre readouts from the last 90 days and one for a week (might be easier to see patterns). Proof of how tough things have been. Maybe someone will be able to understand them - I can't bring myself to look at them again.
