[QUOTE="Quinapril, post: 2399326, member: 542550"] Hello everyone. Here is my situation. I was diagnosed with type 1 about 2 years ago and after using insulin for a while I went into the honeymoon period and stopped using insulin altogether. My bg was pretty good but now a few years later my sugar began to be sort of out of control and because of this I went to the pharmacy and got the same insulin that I was using before (Fiasp and Abasaglar). Didn't go to a doctor yet because the lines are incredibly long in my country due to the covid 19 pandemic. I eat low carb and I inject a few units of bolus with my meals and they seem to do the trick and get my blood sugar down. However, the sugar seems to slowly raise back up to 9 or 10 mmol after it goes down from the bolus insulin. The same happens at night the sugar raised up to 11 mmol and stayed at that range tonight. I have the freestyle libre so I know where my blood sugar is at any given time. I haven't used basal insulin yet because I still thought that my pancreas has enough insulin to control but does this mean it doesn't? Should I start to take basal insulin as well? If so, where do I start? Do I take 1 unit of basal and see whether I need more and work my way up like that? I am really scared of going hypo during the night. Thank you for your answers! [/QUOTE]
