Hi there!

[Liz]

Hi to everyone. I'm Liz and am 30 years old. I stumbled across this site by accident a few weeks ago and have found it very interesting and informative, so I plucked up the courage to join myself. Everyone seems really friendly. I have been type 1 for nearly 15 years and am struggling with it at the moment. My blood sugars keep going low in the night, so it i end up feeling crap when I get up in the morning. I hate being diabetic sometimes!😡

Liz - I was put on to Levemir instead of lantus to help with the night time hypos, I think it has helped a bit. I split the dose so I have less in the evening than morning. Currently 13units at 8am and 5 at 8pm. The extra injection is not so good though.

There has just been another newbie on here who has problems with night hypos - you are far from alone.
