Getting super stressed out recently... My levels on waking seem to be super high, so i increase my night long acting insulin (levemir, currently 12u, going to try 13u tonight)
Going to bed last night was 7.8mmol, (around 10pm) then at 2am i woke and tested and it was 15.3mmol, so i did 2u of quick acting (Humalog) which should have brought it to around 9-10mmol for waking up at 7am for work. Instead it was 17.3mmol, i do corrective to bring this down 1u to lower by 3mmol, as agreed with my nurse) i did the insulin at 8:30am (6u humalog 18u Insulatard, i had 2 slices of toast, hence the extra 2u, then by 12:30pm level had dropped to 4.1mmol and i started feeling weak. I dropped 2u off my lunch insulin, but then when i check at 4pm, its shot up to 16.6mmol. I then do 3u to lower the level, but when i check at 7pm, its gone UP to 18.8
For evening meals, i check the carbs on the food packets so i know its right, and do 1:1 ratio, but then the level plummets within 1 1/2 hours. If i do 1/2 before the meal and 1/2 after, the same thing. If i lower to a 1/2:1 ratio, it drops lower, and looks like it will remain stable, but then shoots up overnight, ending in the super high morning BG.
Really not sure what to do, as last week i was trying to go bed on around a 7 or 8, with BI of 12, and had a diabetic seizure which required paramedic assistance. It's really getting me down, and I'm scared to even eat in case it goes super high or low...
