[QUOTE="Delphinum, post: 247007, member: 40844"] I do have quite a few hypos a week, trying to get tighter control makes my sugar quite low, which I expect. I'm also on Lantus but Humalog with my meals. Luckily I can recognise my hypos really early, around 3.5-4. I'm struggling with middle of the night hypos - which I wake up for and drink Lucozade, shove a mini Lion bar or something in my mouth and chew until I fall back asleep - and also have them mid morning too. I can usually time them exactly to be honest! 7am I have breakfast and 10am I'll have a hypo. I think it's the way Humalog peaks. If I have 3u of insulin to 10g of carbs, I go hypo and if I do 2.5 to 1, I get hyperglycaemia. Can't win! I've even had a previous employer accuse me of drug taking because I couldn't cope with a 40 hour working week and was zombified every day. I've never touched illegal drugs in my life and barely drink alcohol! I was mortified! I hope that the specialist can help you. If you want to drop me a direct message when you see them, feel free. :) I'm going to try to get an insulin pump when I'm referred to the hospital by my GP (which she was doing last week) and see if that will help. Perhaps a dietitian might be able to help you with low GI foods which will keep your sugars more stable instead of peaking and dropping? Good luck with it! :) [/QUOTE]
