Tresiba Is it Still the Latest Insulin

It’s not super difficult to calibrate for it once you figure out what’s going on in your own situation.

Two threads to start:

BG extreme rise mid morning

I got up this morning at 108. Had a cup of milk and bolused for 12 carbs. Ride my bike, went to the store, made brownies for my husband’s office…no tasting. At noon I was 220. My BG rises off and on in the morning, but not consistently. I try to test at 10, five out of ten times I need to correct. Afraid to raise basal, as the other 5 days, all is well. Thanks for your thoughts.

Do you take 'when feet hit the floor' insulin?

I’ve noticed a trend lately that when I rise in the morning, even if I don’t eat, my blood glucose starts to rise. I suspect it is tied into the dawn phenomena I experience. I need to take some insulin to avoid a blood sugar boost from say, 80 to 120 mg/dL. I’ve read references to this before and now I wonder what others might do to counteract this trend.
