2 hypo's in a day

[Dizzydi]

I'm having a right time of it at the mo if I'm not in hyper I'm in Hypo.

Yesterday had one mid afternoon 3.9 at work and then woke at 1.30 am at 3.
I had a 3.3 at 1.45 am on Thursday morning as well.

Going to try and get hold of my consultant as something is defo not right 😡

I can't even blame it on the IVF drugs as this funny bloods have been going on for about 3 weeks now!! Dont like these night time hypos

Oh dear, I'm sorry you're having a bad time. Unfortunately I can't help you with any ideas, as I know nothing about type 2.

Sounds like your basal insulin might need reducing a little Di - hope the consultant can help you out 🙂 Night hypos are the worst, I find, because they make me scared to go back to sleep again! Hypos above 3.5 I'm never personally too concerned about, as I know that non-diabetics often have levels around that point, it's below 3.5 that concern me most. I was installing some new software for my meter yesterday and the default for a hypo on that was 2.8 mmol/l!!! 😱 I changed it to 3.5! Also the default upper limit was 6.1, which I again changed to 7.0. Not sure where they got their default numbers from!
