[QUOTE="Galvatron81, post: 2320892, member: 531863"] Hi Alanj, Oh okay - I’ve never tried that (missing a dose). I have tried 2 new pens to rule that out and making sure I change needles and the injection site is as good as can be, as well as rotating sites. I inject normally around 7:30 -8 pm and then find from 10pm I’m dropping until 6 am in the morning. If I’m in range I’ll have repeated hypos (last Tuesday I had 4 mars bars, half of bag of sugar) to try and keep it up through the night) that was on 22 units. Since then I’m down to 16 units but finding the same thing. Went up to 19.2 last night after evening meal (5 pm) then from 10pm til 6 continued to drop down til 12. If I’m not running really high after evening meal I’ll find I keeping hypoing. It also tends to start rising again at 6am - this morning from 12 up to 16 in a matter of 40 minutes. After doing normal ratio + correction dose it slowly rises until lunch. Then I have the same issue with lunch. It’s as though the Toujeo acts as short acting from 10 pm until 6am. Then as if I don’t have any background insulin during the day. When I was taking Lantus, i was on 22 units and moved over to that dosage on Toujeo and has been fine up until 2 weeks ago. Thank you for your reply & help alanj. [/QUOTE]
