[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2433251, member: 196898"] I presume you are familiar with this advice: [URL]https://bnf.nice.org.uk/treatment-summary/hypoglycaemia.html[/URL] I am not an insulin user myself, but it would seem to me that a reading of 17 is not yet an emergency, a level below 3.9 could be, I suspect you are reacting too quickly to the high values and hence overcompensating. Basal insulin takes time to bring sugars down during which it reduces the problem, but don't be impatient - it is not an emergency, The risk of DKA only happens when the insulin is missing. or so I understand it.
