thats why my dsn told me my ranges should be between 8 and 12 then but my mind says between 6 and 10 if i could do that i would be over the moon my 2 week average is 10.9 so thats not so bad just need to level it out and you know what its time for 10 units of basal. i used to be on lantus dont you find it stings like mad im used to pain i kind of like it but that stuff jusst burned for hours after injecting@chris85 type 1 when your body is use to running at higher levels you can get that hypo feeling at normal levels - conversely always being at the low end of normal you can loose your hypo awareness and usually running at slightly higher than normal for a week or 2 brings them back. the trick is to stay in range with out any hypos (hypo is classed as anything under 4 by some or 3.5 by others)

Hello @chris85 type 1 - sounds like you’re having an utterly miserable time of things, sending a cyber-hug. I’ve been where you are, and I understand how horrible it is. But you’ve made a great step in reaching out here, that’s often the hardest part of taming the diabetes demon. I see you’re on injections of Levemir and Novorapid? FWIW, the first thing you need to do is what we call “basal testing” - if you can get your Levemir dose and timings right (are you taking it once or twice a day? It only lasts 17-18 hours, so many users split their dose morning and night) you’ve got a level foundation for your mealtime and correction doses. Have a read of this - https://mysugr.com/en/blog/basal-rate-testing - it’s a brilliant guide to getting your Levemir dose right. I suspect you’re going high in the evening because it’s run out. That particular insulin has quite a peak, which can lead to overnight hypos and evening highs when taken at night.

i used to be on lantus dont you find it stings like mad im used to pain i kind of like it but that stuff jusst burned for hours after injecting
Would you like a certain someone else to accompany you to your grandparents????
Actually got a young British lady AND yet another new sensor is on its wayI got an American person last time and he sounded very nice, like it was a bit of ASMR.
The Libre shortage is worse than I thought...........
Forgot to say Libre gave up last night. MM was still reading it BUT ranging from Lo to High in 5 mins. So yet another call to Abbotts this morning! This is the sensor that was replaced just a week ago......hope I get a decent english speaker this time
Yep shortage is a problem, so they say. Speaking to the woman at Abbotts I asked about the shortage and she said it is being sorted. Its only prescription supplies that are being affected??
