[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2485073, member: 372207"] [USER=25851]@Annb[/USER] , I noticed this post of you on another thread. To me, this looks like your basal dose is too low and you're compensating with your Humalog. This might be worth talking to your consultant/diabetic nurse/whoever-does-the-diabetes-thing-with-you about. Going up without eating (not counting dawn phenomenon or Foot on the floor) usually means the basal dose is too low. The amount of bolus you need compared with your bolus, even on low carb meals suggests the same. I know we can't compare doses, but taking only 52 units of Tresiba while needing 60 units of Humalog multiple times a day doesn't seem right, especially because you are by no means eating massive amounts of carbs. Do you ever go low when not having taken your humalog in the past 4 or 5 hours? It isn't very usual to take more than twice the amount of bolus insulin than basal, although if that is what works, it works. However, you seem to be going high in absence of your bolus insulin, and the basal is meant to keep you level in the absence of food. I really think you should have a talk about adjusting your basal, based on your post. It might make things much more stable and less random. [/QUOTE]
