Just plugged in my Carelink USB and downloaded my BG, insulin doses & carbs to the computer. My average BG for the last two weeks was 7.5 which, according to a couple of mmol/l - HbA1c calculators online should equate to an A1c of 6.5-7%. This is amazing for me - the lowest I've managed is 7.1% and under 7% is my target for the end of the year. Getting there!
However, as I said in a recent thread, I've been having too many hypos recently. Looking at the composition of my daily insulin dose, too much of this is bolus (around 55-60% bolus). So my plan is to reduce my carb:insulin ratio and after a couple of days probably increase my basals.
On the hypo front - officially none so far today. However, I suspect I had one during the night which my liver dealt with because I woke with a higher than normal BG and the mother of all headaches. Tonight I'm feeling like all the hypos are catching up with me - exhausted, niggling headache and feeling pretty nauseous. A night in front of the box for me!
