You need to monitor blood sugar frequently specially before taking insulin at betime and when you feel symptoms of low sugar. Regulate insulin accordingly.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. It appears your insulin dosage monitoring is not proper. Getting repeated episodes of severe hypoglycemia is not good for your overall health. You may try a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System called "LibrePro" by Abbott. This has a sensor which is fixed to your upper arm, remains there for 14 days. It shows 96 readings in a day (every 15 minutes glucose level), plus gives graphs showing peaks and lows of sugar (glucose) levels. Remains on the body for 14 days, you can carry out all the normal activities of the day. That will help in adjusting insulin dosage effectively. You may ask your diabetologist to use it for you. Thanks. Thanks.
