I find it hard to write chinese phonetically so, I’ll greet you with “Have you eaten rice yet?” You’ll know what I mean.

I was wondering for years why older genration family members what to know this until I realised it’s a polite greeting!

Yes Lanny get asked 100 times every day lol
🙂
 
Oh, dear, dear!!! It’s a montrous 15.4 after breakfast injecting 30 mins. before. Will HAVE to test before I eat lunch now as I may need a correction dose.

Woke up & had a lie in before a later than usual breakfast. Wish I had taken the pre meal reading before I ate so, I’d know where I started from.

I HAVE noticed the later I eat after getting up; the higher my readings are. Forgot that, though, when I had my lie in this morning.

Shaking my head: ups & downs! My planned day of readings has just gone out the window: plan B!
 
Stupid question. Does prebolusing? mean the lowering blood sugars effect doesn’t last as long after a meal & have a knock on effect on the pre meal readings for the rest of the day? I put a line in my monitor diary so I & my hospital team know when I started doing this.

Yesterday’s before meals readings were 7.8, 7.9, 8.9 & 5.7 before bed.

Before I prebolused, 13/03/18 the readings were waking up 7.9, an extra reading my hospital team hasn’t asked for & there’s no slot to input in the diary they gave me. Before meals readings 8.9, 8.3, 6.5 & 6.4 before bed.

The hospital team know I inject after eating. I’ve noticed my target of less than 10 2 hours after meals is higher that what’s been posted by others on here: 8.8?
 
@Lanny sorry but I'm not quite sure what you mean?
Pre-blousing only effects the spike caused by foods you are eating, one of the reasons your levels may be looking off is as you aren't carb counting and adjusting for what you eat OR your basal dose may not be correct OR it could be a combination of the 2 xx
 
Kaylz, I think you’re right. I have been wondering if my Levemir needs adjusting again. I’ll ask the hospital team when I see them next week.

It just knocks me for six just when I think I’m getting things right or can work out what’s wrong.

I’ve been told by my hospital team nurse that Novorapid only lasts for 4 hours, hence my question?

Edited to add:-

Are my team expecting a bigger rise after meals & given me a higher target to allow for my injecting after meals? Is less than 10 a normal target to aim for 2 hours after meals?

@Lanny yes novorapid lasts on average 4 hours but it lasts longer/shorter depending on the individual, as you are on set units you cant be sure that this isn't the reason for weird levels, say us that carb count take 1 unit of insulin for a certain amount of grams of carbs eaten, so say you take 1 unit for every 10g, your reading 4 hours after you last injected should be somewhere near what is was before you ate but as you aren't doing this it could be the novorapid that is wrong for what you are eating, I don't quite understand the way your posts are written sometimes so sorry if I'm not answering in the way you would like, I was told that between 7-9 was what I should be aiming for 2 hours after meals xx
 
Kaylz, I have no problem at all with your answers. Please don't think that.

I didn't put things clearly enough.

I don't know how to carb count & ordered the carbs & cals book from the diabetes uk shop & until it arrives I don't want to start, when I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm disheartened & trying to figure things out?

No I know you don't carb count and I suggest you don't attempt it by yourself without talking to your team first, if there is anything you want to ask/add but don't want to post publicly then please do feel free to send me a private message xx

What is ROI please
 
Morning all, a 9.4 for me today. I'm off to the Excel centre in London later for the Diabetes UK professional conference insider event, as long as the mini beast from the east doesn't put a spanner in the works!
 
Morning folks from a very cranky Kayleigh, why the neighbours think its acceptable to start their DIY jobs at 11pm I'll never know 😡
Very chilly here this morning and a light layer of snow on the ground, been flaking on and off since I got up an hour ago
Anyways its a 4.9 for me this morning
Hope you all have a lovely day! :D xx
