I had to reduce my basal. I was getting crazy lows, at night, even after going to bed at a stable level. I like to be between 90 - 120 then. I cut basal by 1/4 and I'm not getting the crazy lows or highs that were caused by drinking a gallon of orange juice in the middle of the night or even at work. My A1C is coming down now that I cut back on the basal. Less highs and way fewer lows. I think the Afrezza would help that even more but I can't try that right now. I have hope for the future though, thanks to your insight! Great vids. Keep up the great work! T1dwarriors 👍🏼💪🏼💯

Glad you figured out what was causing the lows!!! Fine-tuning is so important! Thanks for watching.

Having a CGM helps get your A1C down but your right work on one 4-8 hour segment of your day. That works for me

I'm t1... eating ZERO carbs.. constantly taking correction doses of at LEAST 5-10 units which sometimes eventually brings bg down.. then the roller coaster starts again.

Sounds like you need more basal insulin asap!

@@DiabetesNerd Thanks for replying. Much appreciated. _/\_ I have appointment with diabetic team this coming Monday to 'renegotiate' :) my insulin regimen. My diabetic nurse at local surgery is about as useful as chocolate fireguard. I've been learning from Dr Bernstein and it's beginning to look like the rapid acting isn't really effective at controlling the slow release of glucose from protein via gluconeogenesis. Is it common for someone following zero carb/carnivore to produce so much glucose? Anyone would think I was grazing on candy and cakes all day. I've been learning gluconeogenesis is 'demand driven'. It only produces enough to meet its needs.... I'd love to know what the el my body thinks it needs so much glucose for. LOL "Helloooooo.... Joe calling body... you need more energy?Try using the 3 year supply of stored energy forming my muffin top over my waistband. well it used to be my waistband... more an ass-cheek--band now. Im also sometimes using up to 30 units basal a day on to of the corrective rapid shots. :/

No waffle. Just great ideas! Over night levels with closed loop insulin delivery have literally improved my whole life by about 150%. x.

Awesome! Always great to hear when technology makes a big impact on quality of life with T1D.

@dwightl5863 Ай бұрын

I totally agree with you. Before closed loop I would be treating a low several times a week. Been on closed loop (Tandem/Dexcom) for 3 1/2 years and have not had a low that needed treatment at night.
