From my family name, probably! What I don't get is why it only happens sometimes....but then there's so much about T1 not to get half the time....Ah, the wonderful somogyi effect followed by Dawn phenomenon? Isn’t the endocrine system wonderful, unless one part of it has crashed and burned! I suspect the som and the dawn are two names for the same thing. My bloods always rise a bit if I get up to go to the bathroom in the early hours, but then they realise it’s a false alarm and settle down again. However, they get a lovely liver boost when I do get up. We’re your ancestors farmers, getting up in the early hours to milk the cows and bequeathing you a lovely epigenetic gift?
i have a half unit pen im so sensetive to the insulin that 1 whole unit is too much for me to reduce by but the half seems to work well enough.Thanks @karen8967, not so long ago I reduced my overnight basal as I kept waking hypo. I only cut it by 1u which seemed to work - except for when it doesn't!
it wouldnt suprise me fairygodmother that would be just my luck...i wish they would have kept their gift to them selvesAh, the wonderful somogyi effect followed by Dawn phenomenon?

Hello friends,
I have been able to get a delivery slot from Tesco for today. I’ve been okay for the most part, just a tad high but not dangerously high. I don’t know if I’m getting better though, it’ll be my 10th day today. I can also confirm that it does give you stomach trouble. So I understand why people are hoarding toilet paper.
I’m more worried about my bf, his symptoms aren’t as dramatic as mine and the residents. My bf keeps reminding me that someone at the care home has it and doesn’t know so that’s why I feel rubbish.
morning robsGood morning Karen
hh1 i have 2 half unit pens that i used for lantus you would have to change to vials of insulin rather than the ready filled ones you are quite welcome to have the pens if you want them xxMorning all. @karen8967 and @Fairygodmother thanks for that info; I use Lantus and I didn't know about the junior solostar pen, I'll explore that.
Wind is raging here in Somerset this morning, when I let the dog out she went crazy running round the garden and chasing blowing leaves. I don't know if the rain will reach me here in the east of the county; think it might, and I could do without it with a wind like this, especially for walking which I'll be doing shortly.
Woke on a 5.3 today - happy to see that at last! and hope your days started as well and stay steady. Have a good one and @MeiChanski hope you feel better.
im the same fairygodmother what i tend to do is do 11 units 1day then 11 i/2 the next not ideal but works for me xxGood morning all. The wind in Somerset sounds like the best dog treat for weeks @hh1, and good to know, too, that you’ll look to take advantage of the 0.5 unit pen option.
It’s breezy here, high is pleasantly invigorating. If you’ve got the vigour. I’ve a tinge of puppy energy envy, don’t think I’ll be chasing leaves today.
4.9 on waking: perfect. Just wishing I had a 0.25 pen as the 9.5 units basal yesterday meant highs in the afternoon, but 10 had meant lows. I’m such a sensitive little flower
Wow Karen that's kind of you! I don't use disposable pens so that'd be no problem if you really don't mind?hh1 i have 2 half unit pens that i used for lantus you would have to change to vials of insulin rather than the ready filled ones you are quite welcome to have the pens if you want them xx
