problems with lows
i keep adjusting my pump due to so many lows. yesterday i had 5 of them lowest one being 21... i treat with milk.. if milk doesnt work the next time i do juice...... however after 5 of them its hard to stay in my 1000 calorie range. i want to loose but its so hard when i have all these lows..i do 40 mins of walking running a day on the treadmill and that causes even more lows... its the same problem i had before the band and why i couldnt loose... any advice?
do you run a temp basal rate when you excercise? and for hours afterwards?
5 lows in a day is saying that your basal is WAY too high - assuming that your not taking corrections for your treatments.
YES talk to your endo - but what i did post op - i increased my bg target so corrections shouldn't drop me so low. Increased my insulin sensitivity - and my typical IOB feature as well. All your previous settings will have to be tweaked all over again. Your regaining your insulin sensitivty even this early post op - thi**** me by day 2 and 3 because i kept dropping and no longer required the higher basal
