Reduced to 10U, no going low but again rising in the morning

Time to adjust again today

Other than waking up with a high (>10) BG today has been good.



I believe my morning rise is due to Dawn Phenomenon, or Levemir running out? Either way frustrating

It looks high as of end of the graph but I just ate then (9:10) so hasn't come down yet - should resolve itself by 11PM-Midnight

Yep, the long acting drops me overnight sometimes though like the night before .. I'm going to try eat something fatty (ie cheese or so) before sleep to keep it up when increasing Levemir, see if that helps.

Type 2 can be cured (reversed - by diet + excersize) , as I know there is no cure for Type 1 yet (properly diagnosed Type 1 at least)

samurai, how high was your mmo//l on diagnosis?

Similar to my case - meter just read "HI" , blood measured at 38 mmol/l

My weight was fine (185cm, 75kg around) but damn thirsty + peeing a lot, so was drinking quite a few fruit juices / soft drinks also ... not knowing I was diabetic of course , if I had that many carbs now god knows how high my BG would go

Looks like my first CGMS sensor has given up it's ghost - guaranteed for 7 days but some users reported getting up to 21 days out of one.

Got 10 days out of it and since around 10PM no readings, looks like a new one needs to go in tomorrow morning

Sweet drink didn't make me feel better , just didn't know I was diabetic so was drinking all sorts including many sweet drinks to keep hydrated.

I kind of diagnosed myself online and thought I might be diabetic, the doctor thought I was wrong and didn't want to test for it until I suggested.

She thought I'd been on drugs as my pupils weren't reacting to change of light (ie large pupils even when shining torch)

Been nearly 3 weeks using CGMS so far - really think it helps me -, although my overnight patterns still seem to be a bit dodgy - think I need to try some days of eating exactly the same thing / routine to get things into check.

Sometimes the high BG alert can be annoying an hour or so after a meal as that's expected , but waking me up at night when sugar is low/dropping has definitely come in useful!

So overall happy, but at RM300 a week just for the sensors, it's expensive
