I got really great news at the doctor's office this morning. My A1C is now down to 5.2 I high fived my husband as we went out the door. That's the lowest it's been in years. Doc officially lowered my insulin doses and gave me strict rules to not let my blood sugars go too low at night. If lower than 90 at bedtime I must eat a small snack. He's preaching to the choir there. I always save 100 calories or so because I sometimes bottom out in the middle of the night and the shaking wakes me up because I'm too low. I've still got about 40 lbs more to lose and looking forward to being able to cut back on even more insulin. He says to do it all (diet and insulin cuts) slowly. The body needs time to adjust.

Fantastic news! I have yet to get my A1C done since losing the weight but my numbers are showing progress. I used to take one shot in the morning at about 40 units and one shot in the evening at 60 units. (70/30). I’m now down to one shot at night at only 20 units and I’m abour ready to start dropping even more. I too wake up at night with the shakes and sweats so trying to figure out how much is challenging to say the least. Congratulations on your achievement! 😁😁😁

Tinast you really should get you AiC checked, maybe you are ready to have none. Let your doctor know exactly what you are doing with your medication and new eating plan.

Tinast Call your doctor and ask for a bloodwork to be done. A1C may be a lot lower than you think. Mine sure was. Those lows you are experiencing can be dangerous. Your doctor may even have you stop the insulin. Don't take chances with your health.
