Generally in the morning there is more insulin need.
You are not the only one.My daughter takes 4 rations at breakfast and puts 8 insulin and at the food takes 8 servings and puts 5 insulin.

Well, the truth is that the opposite happens to me.I feel that at night is when insulin does not take effect.
If you look at the graphic, I'm going to sleep after 00:00 with 83, I like a Maria type cookie, and it is to sleep and start up.I get up in 157, breakfast, I get 4 quickly, it makes the breakfast peak (today being so high I have reached almost 230) and then the descent begins to the hypoglycemia of 11:00 (I have had breakfast at 7: 45).
I don't know, it's weird, the next query I will ask whether to change the slow at noon (now I put it around 21:45)

All the best

If you get 18 and at two hours you are fine and before eating I do not know where you see the problem.If you need more, then get more and do not give it more.I also need more units in the morning.

@manu505219 All the opinions that we are here are going to be orientative because each one has a job, some insulin schedules, a sporting activity and what is more important "a body" "for what is good for me does not haveWhat to be good for you.To me, my educator has always told me that most people who cost them the most, I don't know what percentage is to control the glycemia of breakfast that I see is what happens to you, I personally do not seeProblem that you have to put 18U if you are within objectives at 2 and 4 hours even eating something, if with that amount you are very perfect although they seem to me a barbarity but what each one is said is a world ...

I personally wear about 4-5u in the morning and breakfast almost always the same (1 orange or orange juice, coffee with long milk and slice of whole wheat bread with oil and sugar jam and someday even some extra cookie) becauseThe 2 hours if I am in target at food I arrive under.I get 18-20u from Lantus at 6 pm in case it serves as a reference ..

All the best

@Manu505219 In the morning I wear a lot, I take coffee with milk and toasted with butter ... about 4 rations of HC ... and I get 13 of Noborapid ... I also put it 15 or 20 minutes before because if notI get on the clouds.Like you, I've been wearing a few week using threeiba .... I have completely changed the graphic, I am very happy, so much that I just believe it, I even think that I interact better with the fast ... I hope notBe something passenger ... like the honeymoon

@nuria_nba as soon as you are at 2 hours of breakfast, because there is only how much I am high, then I am fabulous all day, and if it is true that I also with Tresiba I go more flat and without nocturnal hypos, at least at leastfor the moment.Thanks for answering, greetings.

@Manu505219 like your manu ... I'm high after meals for a while (between 200 and 250) but the rest of the phenomenal day .... The nights with threeiba are flat sovere 80 and 90 .... it has never beenSo with Lantus ... I am happy and it shows ... I was very frustrated before I could not go to bed with less than 200 or 250 because it gave me nighttime, now I go to bed with 150 and a glass of milk just in case ...I get up over 80 .... very good

@nuria_nba I'm glad you do well with Tresiba, my endocrine has put it to the test and I have to go on the 29th to see how it has gone, it is the first time that it changes it to a patient.I am happy, I did not know what it was to spend the whole night without hypos, before I half up to three times at dawn since I have no symptoms in the hypos and I have already entered twice from the diabetic coma.All the best

@manu505219, as they tell you here ... Each person is a world, ... but it is true, that it seems to me a barbarity that you get 18 you.fast insulin.
The first thing I would do would be to tell the endocrine, because it seems that the level of acceptance to insulin is none, we go as if you put water!And instead the rest for what you say with few units you keep.
I would also try to climb the Tresiba (little by little) ... and that will make you get the fast.
Also keep in mind that to know if the fast insulin you wear is correct, you have to measure the glucose between 2-4 hours after putting it into the food, which is when it acts and the threeiba throughout the day.

But neither do you obsess, as each one has already commented we are a world, and if you have good values, putting 18 insulin units, because great, it is what matters, being controlled!
