I'm sorry to hear this Marie, that's a real rollercoaster. I suspect that maybe your liver was kicking in at times after your hypos during the day and then maybe was running short on reserves later. Maybe after all that you ended up overtreating the last hypo to wake so high :(

Hope you have a much better day/night and get something good tomorrow morning 🙂
 
Good morning! 🙂 5.7 for me this morning. Still not sure about this 1 unit of lantus, my levels were higher through the day yesterday although that may be due to me being less active. Not much point in trying to compensate for lack of basal with extra bolus, which is what I ended up doing.
 
Reading through a bunch of these replies I realise something is very wrong. If I go to bed with a reading of anything under 10 I will have a hypo in the night or first thing - like I did this morning which ruined my chances of a Sunday lie in! I really need some help and intend to get it now by insisting on specialist advice when I next talk to my GP. I have realised I really am all over the place (highs and lows) compared to a lot of you on here. I am on Novo Rapid and Lantus btw.
 
yey! much better than yesterday - 4.9 this morning

Sandy, from what you say here I would say that it's more than likely that your lantus dose is too high. Ideally, you should drop no more than 1-2 mmol/l overnight - the lowest point is usually around 3 am so it's helpful to occasionally set your alarm and test at this time to see what is happening. If I wake in the 4s then I look to lowering my lantus - do you lower your dose after experiencing night hypos? If your lantus is wrong this will also be contributing to your ups and downs during the day - get yourself referred to a consultant-led clinic and get that DSN earning his/her money by having a good look at things! 🙂
 
Thank you! I shall try lowering it in the meantime bit by bit. God I can't believe I haven't been told all this before. I usually take between 10 - 13 of lantus. And most mornings after breakfast I either hypo or have a higher reading. Believe me, coming on here as had the most positive effect on me, for the first time since being diagnosed I actually feel like I could actually control this darned disease!
 
4.9 for me today...🙂

Tottaly agtree probably did have to much Hypostop however i quesse its better to over do than not have enough when your in a bad way 🙂 Of course doesnt help when your Starving hungry and just want to eat all the ingrediants of the cupboard ha ha ha ha. Do you think thats whats happend my liver dump has kicked in just asking out of curiosity Has anyone else had this happen ????
thanks Marie
 
Good morning! 🙂 4.6 for me this morning. Not so sure what to do really - I normally reduce my lantus if I wake in the 4s, but since I'm only on 1 unit and it's a one unit pen, erm....😱
 
morning levels over the weekend were pants :(

Saturday - 21.6
Sunday - 18.4
today - 14.6

I think I need to do some overnight testing as all my pre-bed readings were 12.6, 8, and 8.4 so should never have been waking up to those readings :(

First guess would be Levemir, but it worked fine for the first 8 out of 12 mornings. :confused:
 
Let slip a good run of sixes today, but only with a 7.0 so no reason to panic just yet 😱
