HI Folks
New to this posting thing, and new to Tresiba after 11 years on Levimur with slowly rising Sugar levels.
So i'm now on Tresiba (Since February) and have no control over my blood sugar levels, results have become totally random (even with carb counting for the Novorapid) ranging from low 20's to high 2's (In old money), so you can imagine what my head is like. the changes can take place over 1-2 hours or 6 to 7 hours it totally unpredictable and at other times it sits like a compliant Puppy just under 7 for up to 7-8 hours.
There is one good thing my A1C has dropped to just below 8 which is a minor miracle for me!!!!
Has anybody else experienced this sort of fluctuation, Any Suggestions / help would be much appreciated.
 
I have exactly the same problem. I think that it is called "getting older".

Most type 1 diabetics produce some insulin (but not enough). When BG rises the cells that produce insulin work harder and so limit the rise. When BG falls they shut down. This stabilises the BG level.

This ability to produce this insulin falls with age. This condition is known as "brittle". A little too much or too little injected insulin sends the BG shooting down or up.

That's just my theory so ignore if you feel like it.

I have no idea what to do about it other than to do one's best. You can NOT predict the EXACT amount of insulin needed, no matter how clever you are.
 
possibly just a case of you haven't quite got the correct dose yet? your bolus ratios could possibly also be changing? xx
