I have been a Type 1 since 1975. My control hasn’t always been great, teenage years I went off the rails a bit, but for the last 25 years or so my control has been quite good, HbA1c tend to be between 6-8. I do have CKD but this seems to be stable at the moment, my levels have stayed the same for the last 3 years. Over the last 10 years I have been putting on weight, a stone a year, and I am now morbidly obese. Over the years as my weight had increased so has my insulin doses. I have not started a weight loss campaign and seem to be doing alright however what is very frustrating is that I will do well all day then during the night I will have to drink a bottle or 2 bottles of Lucozade due to hypos. If I am having hypos in the night should I be reducing my daily dose of Ultratard or my last dose of Humilin S? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
