[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1945409, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=382507]@MisterMints[/USER], As experience as a T1D, not as professional advice or opinion: [I]Could you be under stress [/I]? (the silly season is a general reason for many of us, or the start of a virus infection etc)? And [I]I certainly can suffer 'hypo' symptoms with BSLs dropping more quickly than usual.[/I] I think, (but cannot prove in my case) that the rapid fall in BSL is enough to trigger off my adrenaline despite BSLs being above 'hypo' range and this of course pushes the BSL up again. [I]And stress means that I have to use larger correction doses of short-acting insulin than usual.[/I] For me, (and you may well be different and thus need to consult your DSN or doctor), the 'secret' was [I]to increase my basal or long-acting insulin as a general hedge against whatever is pushing the BSLs up)[/I] and then[I] ease back on the correction doses[/I]. Like pouring oil on the troubled waters. The change takes several days to settle out in my case. How much the basal/long-acting insulin needs to be altered is individual. another reason to consult your DSN or doctor. I hope the above gives you non-BSL raising food for thought !! :):):) [/QUOTE]
