I am still new to diabetes.. I am 25 years old, I was diagnosed one year ago together with Grave's disese(hyperthiroism), my thyroid level just got to normal levels(still taking medication for another 6 months to try to stop the hyperthiroidism to come back).
The problem I have is that I started to notice from about 6 months ago that my body doesen't let the blood sugars get too low, when they started I had very high blood sugar till I figured it out what it was happening.
So now I am using normally insulin (slow acting once a day and fast acting at meals) and my sugars stay between 5-7 mmol/l even If I don't eat for long periodes of time. More exactly when the blood sugars are getting somewhere unde 5 mmol/l they pop up to arround 7 and so one.. This is not my body reacting to hypoglicemia, I get hypo if I inject too much fast acting insulin and my sugar gets under 4.3
Anyone is experiencing this? Can't find any information why is this happening, could be alpha cell function?
Thank you.
