[QUOTE="blothom, post: 519157, member: 72293"] Help, knowledgeable people! I have recently started to experience unexplained hypos from late morning through to early evening. My insulin doses are the same, the type and amount of food I am eating is the same, and my work/lifestyle is the same, but I can drop from 6.8 to 3.2 in half an hour for no reason that I can find. It is only since last May that I became insulin dependent, and up to January of this year, I have brought my HbA1c down from 135 to 47, with average daily readings of 6.3. (Slightly higher in the morning, steadying up during the day) which is a level I feel comfortable with as I depend on my driving licence. However, over the last two months, I have had a second toe amputated, returned to work feeling a lot better, to now have this sudden drop in readings. I have had to reduce the amount of insulin I am taking, depending on my readings, and am wondering if I am now producing more natural insulin as a result of my lowered bgs, or am I less insulin resistant. Can't get hold of my Dsn, and local doc said to maybe eat more! (Helpful!) I don't want to raise my bgs too much, as I don't want to risk losing any more digits, but don't want to be too low either, cos thats plain scary. :( Suggestions please ….. [/QUOTE]
