[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 1740114, member: 140811"] Hi [USER=471175]@Greg1986[/USER] , I was diagnosed diabetic almost 4 yrs ago and spent most of that time on 25/75 mixed insulin with the occasional top up of extra rapid acting insulin if I wanted some carbs. Managed to keep my A1C in range over most of this period until around Christmas 2017 when my control went out the window and nothing I was doing was working. My endo' switched me over to MDI in mid January and my control was great for the first couple of weeks. Again things started to go wrong and my Libre is now telling me that even when I go to bed with blood sugars of around 8mmol, I am regularly rising to 15mmol at around 2am and falling back to 10mmol by the time I wake up at 6am. Nothing I do in terms of dosage or timing really seems to make a difference. I called the Endocrine Centre via their 'hotline' this week and was told that the night time rise is 'hormonal' - whatever that means. I have to show them my Libre data before going any further. One day this week I was just over 5mmol on waking, next day back to 10mmol again. All quite frustrating. Edited to add:- I'm now on Abasaglar, a Lantus biosimilar product. [/QUOTE]
