So you were 18, had 6 biscuits with no extra insulin and you woke on 3.7? 😱 Your basal looks as though it is set way too high!

Re being 18 then dropping to 3.7 obviously when my last bolus dose - teatime - runs out I'm then onto basal only and dropping very low early am. I'm currently on 24u Lantus at bedtime 10:30pm. What would you decrease it to?

Good morning 🙂 3.3 for me
 
9pm 9.3
I felt shaky at 2.50am but it was 6.7
VERY frustrating after yesterday's appointment:(
 
2.3 opps 😱 Well worth it though as had a nice home made biscuit 🙂
 
6.8 - 22:30pm - bedtime - no snacking during the evening (ie from teatime onwards) then 3 mini scotch eggs (4.2g cho ech = 12.6g cho) after bedtime test
2.9 - 7:24am - fasting - also hypo - had jelly babies then 15 minutes later BG was 6.3 - dread seeing any later results today because I had 4 jelly babies (20g cho) which were rather nice and somehow ended up having 10 altogether (50g carbs)!!! 😱 😱

I would consider reducing lantus by at least a couple of units Gill.
 
Back to 5.7 (on both meters :D). But had a nasty hypo at 2.6 this morning, after breakfast! I'm up to 4.9 as of 20 minutes ago and feeling like something the cat dragged in.

Hate those hypos that come AFTER you've eaten! Hope you are feeling better soon 🙂

Cheers Northerner. I now myself think this is the thing to do. Getting fed up of all the hypos 😡. The only problem in the way is that it was only last Friday that i altered my teatime/bolus ratio from 1:1 to 1.5.1 so would I not have to wait like I do with Lantus/basal ie - it takes 3 days for any changes to start taking effect and another 3 for them to settle down and take full effect?
