I think another basal reduction is a good call. It's not an ideal situation having to have a sandwich every night at bedtime just to keep you from hypoing overnight and still waking up in the 4s, so trying another reduction in your Tresiba makes a lot of sense.
Hi @rebrascora & thanks about your comment reducing the Tresiba - I've only reduced it by 1 unit then I wondered wether to leave it for 5 days to let it settle and see what the 5 days brings.

I'm on Tresiba too. As its a longer acting insulin, any changes you make do take a few days to be noticeable so i would leave it around 4 days, just keep an eye on your waking levels.

See what happens with your levels before deciding what day. It may be that you notice a difference in a couple of days, then again it may take longer. Its a case of making a change, waiting to see what happens then making the decision to change again or stay at that dose. Its hard because no one can tell you what to do as diabetes is so personal, everyone is different.
😳 WEELLL, theres’s nothing else for it but, an Australian G’day mates: SO late it COULD even warrant a Good Evening; 17:35 BS 7.5 an ok ish reading, STILL!😉
Went to bed on 22:43 BS 6.6 & slept & slept because I could: still stuck in LR albeit 30 minutes late & drifted off again; reduced fat sausages & mushrooms in the oven until 17:50 as I don’t feel I want eggs as I’m a wee bit stuffed despite it being over 12.5 hours since I ate!
Sleep pattern will be off kilter now but, I don’t care! I’m all bright eyed & bushy tailed! 😛😉
PS: a delish looking spread there for your Birthday party @SueEK😛 It’s SO lovely to have your loved ones there in person & you all look so happy!😎😛
@Birdy REALLY loved all your little pictures in your post! 😛
Have to stop now or I’ll burn my breakfast! 🙄 17:51 eek!
Ah 18:00 just went off too & LR going in just 30 minutes overlap but, still ok & forgot to say, went back to pre bolusing from dinner last night as after lunch, without, was just a smidgey bit high 9,9 at the two hour mark! So, back to peaking at 8.8 at the 90 minutes mark last night after late dinner!
Morning all, 7.7 today, am not convinced my Coke yesterday was a diet one, tasted different. Anyhow stepfathers party went well and am officially pooped. Didn’t sleep well again last night and heavy day at work followed by 2 of my grandchildren. Anyhow long but enjoyable weekend. It is our coral wedding anniversary, that’s 35 years but couldn’t possibly fit in another celebration.
Have a good day all x
Morning all. A high 10.9 for me and graph showing its been in the 12s all night. Am feeling very fed up with it all atm, just want to cry. Its probably stress. Off to work soon but really don't want to go.
Morning all it’s a new week 12.9 ,new sensor suspended insulin for a few hours overnight because it was reading low when I wasn’t hypo - hey presto double figures. I’ll definitely get this diabetes thing cracked very soon....
Spent Saturday in the rain planting trees in mum and dad’s garden which you’d have thought would exhaust me and give me a decent night of sleep but no just the same 2.5 hours.
Same again last night.
Making a new sexual assault report today or tomorrow. Early 2000s. Guy I was seeing ended up holding me hostage at knife point in my own flat and I called the police. He was arrested etc.
What I didn’t report at the time was the sexual assaults. I didn’t think I’d be believed. I’m ready to set the record straight but because he’s known and there’s a previous complaint I’m considerably more anxious about this one.
He’s a truly nasty piece of work and it’s imperative that my safety comes first.
I can only consider doing this report because I’ve got a decent relationship with the SOIT team who will have this to deal with. They’re already handing two others.
I’m also intending to do some work this week. I’m not sure I’m ready for it. I’m not certain I’ll cope but I’m going to try. I am officially signed off sick still but the money would be useful as would the distraction.
Oh and two of my closest friends announced they’re moving. One to Poole (he said Poole but it’s actually Sandbanks) and the other to Germany.
I still haven’t resumed BG testing but diet is slowly getting better and the carbs, consumption of which had undeniably crept up considerably, are significantly reduced.
I’m working on cutting them by half. Staying roughly at this level for a couple of weeks and then reducing by half again. But I’m guesstimating rather than measuring.
Right now though I’m heading out for a walk down to the Thames and along the Embankment.
😉
