[QUOTE="michael_n, post: 1659271, member: 34758"] Hello everybody! I'm 26 and have been diabetic for almost 14. The first 12 years were easy as pie: my HbA1c s was between 5.6% and 6.4% and I was checking my blood sugar only 4 times a day. I was on NovoRapid and Lantus the entire time. I had bad days/weeks when I just couldn't lower my BG, but they were pretty rare. Things took a turn for the worse in 2016. I admit it was a pretty stressful year with one of the toughest exams of my life and my first job. On top of that, I got a couple of Lantus lows which got me scared as I was living alone and was very anxious so I switched to Levemir. It wasn't that great, but it (kinda) did the job. My HbA1c s in 2017 were between 6.6% and 6.85%. I know it isn't that bad, but it isn't great either and bear in mind that for the past year and a half I've been testing at least 10 times a day. In the past two months, the issue got out of hand. My blood sugar rises inexplicably between 10 pm and 3 am and is virtually non-responsive to insulin. I have to inject a very high dose to lower it, which I'm scared to do. If I wake up during the night, I inject two smaller doses which can do the job. That takes its toll on my sleep which already isn't good because of the high BG. This happened a few times while I was on Lantus too, but I can't tell if it would happen that often as I switched to Levemir. These unexplained spikes happen during the day, but that usually lasts for a few days at is somehow easier to deal with. I have to mentions, my diet is almost exactly the same for the past 14 years and my insulin doses are the same for the past 10 years or so. My doctor is clueless and doesn't seem too concerned as my HbA1C is decent enough. I'm really worried and for the first time I feel I'm losing control over my disease so any pieced of advice will be much appreciated. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
