Just go for it Mel, they can say either yes........... or no, good luck.
I rang the nurse last week to ask if I could have some Levemir as well, so I could inject a unit alongside the Tresiba that would work fast and be out of my system fast just for this one week. They weren’t having any of it though. She did suggest the best option would be a pump, so I wonder whether to call today to press the issue? I don’t know. I’m not very good at peopling.

I’ve rung the DSN hotline and left a message. It was the nurse who suggested a pump to solve the issue last time I spoke the them about it.Me neither, but if you think it might be time, I reckon the day you wake up with a blood sugar too high, is a good day. I think you have to push them a bit, if you want something.
Have you tried topping up your carbs (e.g. one dextrose) and keeping your basal the same?
As basal last longer than you sleep, reducing your basal could impact your BG whilst awake.
You’re on Levemir, aren’t you? I understand it’s very adaptable like that.I have been told I am sensitive to Insulin, I have tried, in the past, having a very small snack, a couple of grapes, and my BS in the morning is higher. Best for me to just reduce nighttime by 1 unit if under 6, but might ask about a 1/2 unit pen, like the echo I use during the day. Actually I will look in my monitoring book and see if I can find an example.

Awesome you did the experiment for me. Yes it must be because it’s slow release. Impossible to counteract would you say?
Sun has just come out in Newport now, was lashing it down an hour ago.
Unusually high numbers for you @Mel dCP, glad they are coming down now, guessing you had DP this morning *COUGHS*
I can't decide whether you need a hug or a like, consider this reply as representing whichever you prefer.
Does anybody else have that one day of the week that just doesn't make sense?
Just had a quick browse through today's posts.
Hopefully some of the uneducated members who think we just eat, inject and have perfect BS levels will see it's not quite that simple.
It's Thursday ( no sh*t Sherlock I hear you cry) I nearly always spend most Thursdays cruising low. Have no idea why.
Not sure if it's last day at work for the week syndrome but can guarantee that 8 out of 10 work Thursdays see me snacking.
Yes tried all the usual stuff to combat it.
