[QUOTE="avi, post: 80838, member: 16456"] Hi Been having a few problems recently, was waking up with high readings, and after reading a few posts started testing through the night and realised I was having hypos and the dawn effect at times as well. I started to excersise and have a bedtime snack which sometimes cures the problem but not always. The other problems I have been having is I seem to need 14 units of BI some of the month and 16 units some of the month, my ratios also seem to fluctuate as well, as when I need the 14 units these drop but when I need the 16 units the go up considerably for example from a one and a half to one teatime ratio to a three to one teatime ratio, was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this, I thought it could be hormonal or the fact that I still haven't got my thyroid sorted out? I did ask my practice nurse but she didn't have a clue why this was happening, I used to have very good control but now not so much. Hope someone can help a very vexing problem! Avi [/QUOTE]
