[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1359624, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=121702]@linda321[/USER] I agree with what others have said, you need to start with basal testing, getting a pattern over a 24 hour period of what your background is doing is key to getting everything else right. I find that my insulin needs change every few months so being aware of what and why helps me to understand and adjust. I never accept that a set pattern of insulin will work constantly, so i've just had 2 weeks of waking high above 10, so have been adjusting overnight background, also my morning carb ratio has changed too, so have had to increase my morning dose, I have a different carb ratio for lunch and for dinner. If you can start with doing a morning fast to check your background, then another day try afternoon and another try evening, if you're still using your libre then download your results and see if you can email them to your DSN, mine is quite active on email and it's the best way to contact her. You mentioned that you have reduced your background because you were going low in the daytime, however you are still going high which is contradictory - hence the advice about basal testing which will pinpoint what's going on, it may be your background is not working so contacting your DSN will highlight this to them and so if necessary to change they can ensure this will happen quickly for you, I found success with Tresiba as lasted longer and more stable, however it may also be a discussion to prompt into looking at getting a pump as you have greater control with making changes to your insulin requirements in using a pump - whatever course of action is required keep your DSN informed and on board as they will help you :) [/QUOTE]
