Inconsistent but frequent morning lows
I'm really frustrated with going low so often. The heck of it is that it doesn't happen every day. There doesn't seem to be a pattern.
My DE suggested that I bolus about 10-15 minutes before breakfast and that has helped a little.
Any other ideas? Because of the BG pattern, changing my basal or IC ratio for the morning doesn't seem to be the answer.
Have any of you been through this? Do I just have to tough it out and keep fast-acting carbs handy?
By the way, right after the CGM, I had a C peptide test and I'm producing very little insulin.
Thanks,
Janet

Interesting, I have the same issue. Will try the injection a little more before the meal than I've been doing.

Same here I do a 1:15 ratio for breakfast and then I need 1:10 at lunch and dinner then one week of PMS I become very insulin resistant and that week I'll do 1:10 every meal. Robin
