Had a bit of a scare this morning. Woke up and immediately could tell my sugars were low. Checked it - 41. I have never seen it do that before. 3 glucose tablets later and I was back up to 80. I was completely freaked out over it. My doctor is out of town for at least another week so hopefully I can find someone in the office tomorrow.

My carbs have been staying steady. I stick at around 15-20 carbs a day. I think my insulin is just way too high for those numbers (50 units of Humalin) still and my doctor has been lowering it way too slowly. I didn't get much sleep last night so took a bit of a nap. Woke up in a dripping sweat. Came out and it was back down to 39. With all the tablets I had to consume today I am well over my target so now I'm worried about setting off a chain reaction. Either way, my doctor's office is getting a phone call first thing tomorrow morning.

I am also insulin dependent. Was taking Levemir 80 units morning & evening, 20 units Novolog with each meal and 1000mg metformin twice daily. I found that once I got down to 15-20g carbs per day that any insulin is too much for me. My diabetes specialist and I agreed beforehand that as long as my glucose is less than 180, no insulin.
