Lows all night are frustrating and tiring @Marie 2 Hope you had a better night last night. I remember reading an article (sorry I don't know where) on insulin production in type I, which showed that even many decades after diagnosis, they could/did periodically produce some insulin. I've often said I was sure my pancreas does at times.When I was tested I was making no insulin and I have been a type 1 for 22 years, but I think my pancreas still tries

Quote from my favourite tv show.....@Tony[emoji[emoji6]] this is what I like about this thread. The idiosyncrasies of managing Type one that are mentioned here and you suddenly remember, it’s not just me, I am not alone in this daily battle.
I don't think I ever have. But it could make sense. If you have an infection or sick you usually use more and have higher sugars and they get better as you get over it, so the antibiotics might be helping you get better and hence bringing down blood sugar levels? More sensitive to insulin? I know golden seal that i use to help with infections also brings down my BG levels. That's because of one of the properties it has so....????Random question: Does anyone drop from antibiotics?
I'm currently having a lung infection and started antibiotics yesterday. Where do those lows suddenly come from?
This would make sense if I had been using more insulin or having higher BG for the week of being ill before starting the antibiotics, but I haven't.I don't think I ever have. But it could make sense.

Have you tried taking a paracetamol straight after vaccinations and every 4 hours for a day @hh1 My mum's friend was told to do that by her Consultant son, and we've all found it really reduces/avoids reactions like this.Good luck with the flu jab @becca59. Had mine Saturday morning, had a bad reaction in terms of uncontrollable shivering in the evening, bg up a bit, then felt so wiped out and headachyyesterday I missed going to a gig last night. Not great, hope you sail through!
Wow, wish I'd known this on Saturday! Thanks, will pass on to friends and make a note to self for next year!Have you tried taking a paracetamol straight after vaccinations and every 4 hours for a day @hh1 My mum's friend was told to do that by her Consultant son, and we've all found it really reduces/avoids reactions like this.
