Slightly different to usual as I'm starting back at the gym this week so my basal is a bit high at the mo (though not quite by a whole u yet)
Est carbs 100-110ish
Est whole dose 14-15u (1:10 plus approx one third)
18:28 4.0 bit near the edge, had 2 fruit pastilles, injected 10u (thigh) and ate
19.56 4.7 (1.5 hours after) this is often the time for the second part of the split
20.40 4.6 2 hours in. Still too low to top up
21.22 5.0 +4u thigh (much later than i would normally give 2nd half of split, but initial dose mostly spent, so expecting BG to continue to rise with rest of carb load)
22.57 4.7 +12g cereal bar. Probably could have used 3u for second half of split
Fbg 4.2
So there you go. Chip shop every night from now on!!
Nope I had all of my injections but this high BG is what happens in the early hours of the morning if I don't have humalog around 2 am-5am (there isn't a specific time) and have eaten a full evening meal. I usually eat at 7pm and It can be 6.0 at midnight and go up to 22 plus by 4am if I don't inject Humalog at the right time during the night. However if I have a relatively small evening meal or didn't eat I can have two or three hypos during the night. This is the joy of gastroparesis. The CGM usually stops me from having the really high BGs by waking me when I my BG goes up to 10 and I then inject thee extra units of humalog......but unfortunately I didn't set the CGM properly last night😱 If I hadnt woken at 5am it would probably have gone higher than 22
5.4 friday morning
6.2 sat morning
8.7 this morning - was so busy and I had forgot to inject novo at tea time so I did a correction at bedtime and worked out a correct to bring it down to 8 so worked out quite well considering my bed reading was 25.6!
