Much less slow since I carry the sensor

Good morning.

Almost three months ago I started with the Free Style 2, the truth that since then I have changed a lot of things in the control of my illness.

The first thing we realized nothing else is that I was going through slow (Lantus), especially at night, so that almost every night I had hypos.I have been reducing the amount of insulin that I put me, so that I am now practically halfI have to get up to take something, generally when I correct, the flat night stays more or less, although not always.

The truth is that I am a little strange, the first thing because of the slow thing I was, because although it did have hypoglycemia before (I feel them when I am very low), the controls that I did with the gluconomether were more or less normal and then and thenEspecially since despite having reduced the lantus that I wear, I can't make night drops disappear (they don't become hypos because I correct myself before).

Has anyone had to reduce so much slow?

Thank you so much!

Hello fer,

Yes, the same thing happened to me.Those nocturnal hypoglycemia hid behind the Alba effect in the morning.Although I got up in 100, according to the sensor and with capillaries if I entered hiccups in some moments of the night.

We have been adjusting the slow so that for the day I am well after the active fast insulin and at night I no longer have those hypos.

And did you have to take away a lot?Because I'm going more or less in half ...

Right now I am with Tresiba before I used Lantus.Well, half exactly, I went from 12 units to 6.

@Fer1803 The Lantus has a peak of action at the time of putting it, so they give you hypos.You have to change your time.I think I remember that at 4 hours or so.I put it at 10:00 at night and the peak was between 2 and 3 in the morning.

In addition, Lantus does not cover 24 hours like Tresiba or Toujeo, over time you will have to put an amount at night and another at 12 noon.

I changed to Toujeo that is flat, does not take a peak of action, and covers 24 hours so I save a puncture.

Already, I already know Lantus, I put it on it ten years ago in two doses, what I would like is if that peak could be reduced in some way.
With respect to Toujeo, like everything in this disease there are people who have given him good, as it seems that it is your case, and there are people who have returned to Lantus because it was fatal.I have good control with Lantus, as I have, for now I do not want to change, the only thing that bothers me is to have to wake up almost every night.

@Fer1803 You can't talk about "good control" if you have to wake up almost every night.I think you should consider insulin change to improve this aspect.Check with your endocrine.

Forget about controlling Lantus's peaks, I tried by all means and it is impossible.In the end I got my endocrine to change myself to Toujeo, I would have given me the same three, what I did not want was Lantus or Levemir (who also used it a few years) for having the peaks and not covering 24 hours.

With all my respects who told me that I have excellent control is my endocrine.I know people who, with the two insulins that you speak, have had very bad experiences, so with a ninety -five I have my reasons not to want to change anything for now.

@Fer1803
It is that each one is doing a thing.
There is one here one that has changed to Tresiba and everything has been lacking.
I use Abasaglar, which is supposed to be bad, it does not cover 24 hours ... and I am going wonderfully, they don't change it!

Of course, that's why.Today there is no perfect insulin.

@Fer1803 I do not say that you do not have good control, I speak of the picos of descent when the action of Lantus begins, that they cannot be controlled and sometimes forces to allege;It didn't make me straight as Toujeo makes me.

I have very good control, I have never gone from a 6.4 glyc.

In what time do you put the toujeo?because I put it at breakfast and at night they give me hypos

@marine I put it at 10:00 p.m.

The Lantus covered me 24 hours without problem but I had to stop putting it at night through the peak and consequent downturn at dawn.I started putting it in the morning shortly after starting with it (when it came out and still in vials, there was no Lantus bolis) and the problems were over.

2 years ago my endocrine decided to go to Toujeo.I have not noticed any change in glycemia or dose, neither for good or for worse, and I still put it when I get up.
