I have had type 1 diabetes for the last 6 years. I take three injections a day, pre-breakfast, pre-lunch and pre-dinner. I take human Actrapid and human Insulatard. For, the past two years or so, my 3 am blood sugars drop down to 40 mg/dl [2.2 mmol/L] or so, and my pre-breakfast readings are 200-250 mg/dl [11.1-13.9 mmol/L]. I had stopped taking Insulatard at night, but the problem persisted. Currently I am taking 8 units of Insulatard without any effect. My Glycosylated Haemoglobin results range from 5 to 6.5%. Please guide.
