Is it bloody impossible to find a dose of basal insulin that holds me at the right levels over night? It seems that I am asking far, far too much at the moment. Whatever I do I wake up with my bloods in the teens and It's hugely frustrating. I know from some testing I did a few days ago that my blood glucose drops further into the night from about eleven onwards. I think the one solution is, over the next couple of days, to stay awake until three in the morning. This is to find out if, according to the theory, I am hypoing or dropping too low at the point of the night when blood glucose is lowest. I do believe that I am getting too much insulin. The DSN's advice of increasing until I find something that does work didn't work. I had much the same problem a few years ago and the result was terrible bloods across the board. It seems that my nurse won't believe me. That's due to the fact I don't present with the typical symptoms of low blood glucose over night. I mean there are generic symptoms for something but not everyone presents them in the same way, you catch my drift? I do believe I did hypo last night. Waking up a sweaty mess is not a nice thing to do at two in the morning but yes, it did happen to me last night. If only I'd tested my bloods. If only.
Whinge over for now.
