Well, after last April's rapid decline in my lantus/basal requirements, eventually dropping from 20 units to 6, it appears that my bolus requirements are now falling. Just lately (since this cold snap began) I've been reducing my novorapid with my meals, but I'm just not reducing it enough. Meals that I have been pretty confident about dosing for are now sending me hypo 2.5 hours later. I'm writing this recovering from a completely surprising 2.8, even though I had reduced my bolus, and then taken an extra 20% off just to make sure!😱
I've only had two readings above 5.8 this week - most are in the 2s, 3s, or 4s. I'm fairly happy with my lantus because I wake between 4.5 and 5.1. So...I must be nearly cured! There's no other explanation😱
Things have been pretty good all month - only one reading in double figures and that was after lots of booze just befre New Year, but lately - too many hypos!
