[QUOTE="nixiepixie, post: 384602, member: 70499"] Hi KT Thanks for yor message. i'm soo glad to have found people on here going through the same things that I am! What you said about insulin requirements would really make sense. I think i am still in the really early days, which would maybe explain why i'm needing more insulin than usual at the moment. So maybe in a few weeks i'll be like Danlie and having hypos every 5 minutes! at the moment i feel jealous of Danlie for being able to eat lots, but i know in reality having a hypo is horrible and i won't enjoy it if it happens to me! Danlie, could you try and have some more carby meals? i know you said if you decrease your insulin you will go high, so maybe keep the insulin the same but try and eat more at meals to prevent the lows afterwards? it's such a hard balancing act! i'm still thinking the pump might be a good idea for me. i just worry about the period of adjustment where everything goes a bit haywire, do i really need that added stress at the mo? would i be better sticking with what i'm doing and just trying to continue improving my control? i do feel a bit better about things overall, i'm still getting some unexplained spikes in blood sugar, but at least i know that my sugar isn't staying high for long periods of times, as i'm testing sooooo often! i have increased my evening Lantus as i just feel like i've not got enough insulin in the background throughout the day, hence why my sugar keeps going up. Unfortunately increasing my Lantus at night tends to result in quite a lot of early morning hypos! I have a scan booked for next Wednesday :D very exciting and also scary! after that i have an appointment with the consultant. Based on the doctor's estimate i will be nearly 9 weeks by then but really i think i'm only going to be about 5! [/QUOTE]
