That doesn’t necessarily make it right for you @Lily123. Basals need adjustment from time to time, but you should be held absolutely steady by your basal if you do not eat. That’s why basal testing from time to time is important. It’s rare that ratios change.@Pattidevans my basal insulin is now 23.5 and it was 22.5
That's not the right attitude Patti! You of all people should know it is a question of "more experiments needed", especially if it was delicious. I managed a success with my final mince pie from a box of 12..... There's dedication for you!! .... and there were some Himalayan experiences along the way, but that final pie peaked no higher than 8.5. Yes! Unfortunately by next year, I will have forgotten what the secret to success was and have to start the experiment all over again!4.8 this morning. Had the left-over gnocchi for dinner last night and bolussed 30/70. Interestingly it just moved the spike up sooner. Next time I am tempted to make this delicious meal I shall resist.
Yes, I was impressed at that, as I asked if that might be an option for getting in touch with the nurse yesterday, when I spoke to the receptionist, but it was a resounding "No, we can't do that"They gave you an email address??!!
We do have an e-mail contact with our surgery and I was astonished that when I e-mailed to inform them that my OH had been admitted as an emergency having seen the doctor only a couple of days before for a urinary issue, I had a phone call only minutes later to ask how he was.That's not the right attitude Patti!

Anyway, good morning folks.
Afraid I didn't do so well last night and have 3 red marks on my Libre despite a reduction in Levemir last night. Just as well I restocked my bedside hypo treatments yesterday! Waking reading was 3.7
Many congrats to @Gwynn and particularly @DuncanLord as I think that is your first HS isn't it? Also congrats to @Robin for valuing sleep over claiming a House Special! Think we should give you it anyway, as you did wake up to it even if you dropped off again. Feeling quite a trend setter this morning as I seem to have initiated this run on HSs after a dry spell 😎 Hope no one follows my lead from today and we have a string of hypo results tomorrow!![]()

Well, of course it's you who manages your diabetes, not your team really. Once basal is set right it makes absolutely everything so much easier 🙂@Pattidevans I should do a basal test.I adjusted the basal dose at the review by the diabetes team
