Hello Biagio is writing from Italy , Milan

Sorry for my bad English, i am a new member

Before going ro bad if  i am below 100 i take 200ml of milk and 2 biscuit.

If i did more vthen one houre of sport at a medium intensity (hearth frequency > 150) i decrease basal rate of my pump to 80% during night.

By the way i keep always keep onto my night table some candies of pure sugar.

For my fortune i always realize if level is low and i wake up, even if i have to admit since i took pump i have NO LONGER had big sudden ipo (below 30) i had in the past with Lantus.

Ciao a tutti

Biagio,

Sounds like you have got this Mr.D under control and I would like to say , " I"m excited and happy for you" its so great to here the positive stories..it's refreshing and uplifting. Might even encourage a few of us ( me specifically) to just "try" a little harder. Thank you and keep smiling.

I have a difficult time sleeping or getting to sleep ...maybe due to the fear of insulin reaction.  But I have been lucky in that all my times when a severe low occurred I was able to awake myself and get something ... It's like I have a single purpose and in checking BG, I am in the 20's or 30's .. It doesn't happen more than 2 times a year - but it is scary.

Unfortunately, I find that I ALWAYS over treat late night reactions and find my BG levels at 250+ 30 minutes later.  Plus I can't get back to bed because I'm still so shaky.

I can honestly admit that I am not scared to sleep. It is the fear of the lows that has me more paranoid when I sleep. Lately though, in the past month, I have been more aware of my nightly sugars and what actions of mine will set them off. It can be a pain. However, fear is not something to live with. I envy HV that she has someone who is so loving and caring that he will take care of her all the time, but since I am a very independent person, I am not sure how I would react to someone trying to help me at night.
