[QUOTE="Graham76, post: 1697906, member: 44087"] I'm 42 and have been T2 diabetic for 8 years now, although it's only in the last year that I've been moved onto insulin in conjunction with Metformin. I'm in a position now where I feel personally happy with my day-to-day blood readings (I'm down to 7 or 8 from 17+ daily), however, my morning blood readings are always high. I was previously on a morning routine of Abasaglar, which lowered my morning readings from 20+ to 13, after which I could not get my morning readings any lower no matter what I did. And at one point I was on 140 units, and, still, it did nothing. Recently I've been placed on a new injection (Tresiba) and take 110 units in a morning in place of Abasaglae. This has brought my morning bloods down to 12. In desperation I even upped the shot (rather foolishly perhaps) to 140 units and, [I]still, [/I]nothing. The results remain identical as if I was still on 110 units. I suppose the question is: what gives? What else can I do? I rotate my shot sites, I do everything I've been told I should be doing, but because I need a cataract operation and because I have been told I need to sign a waver unless I can reduce my hba1c (my last two readings have been 91 - a personal best given it used to be 120), I'm beginning to panic slightly. I'm desperate to get my morning bloods down and thus lower my overall hba1c, but nothing seems to be working. Anyone been in a similar boat? [/QUOTE]
