Lol gotta make the most of Hypo time, If your gonna feel like that you might aswell have something good to make you feel better! Problem is I cant keep biscuits in the house for hypo time, as all day everyday would be biscuit for no reason time!
 
9.9 for me......had chinese take away last night.....a gallon of insulin and a multi wave .....still not enough ackkkkk!
 
I just don't understand
I'm normally really, really good with my carb counting.
Sarurday 18.9
Sunday 15.3
Monday 3.2
So last night, after a distressing day with Susie I guesstimated sweet and sour prawn balls, crispy chilli beef and spring roll
Result 8.3 this morning best BG in four days. It doesn't make sense
 
how do you carb count AJ? do you use a reference book, or information you've got online, or from a healthcare bod etc etc?
 
Hi Dory I carb count using the information on the packets and if that isn't available then I use my carb book from the DAFNE course or the carbs and cals - and then I don't just look at the picture I actually weigh it based on the carbs and cals weight. I know that the problems are almost certainly because of my gastroparesis it's just that sometimes it gets so frustrating that I can't do anything about it.
 
Good morning all 🙂

12.1 - bedtime
10.2 - this morning

- 18.28pm - tea & QA
- 22.20pm - bedtime test was done, before having supper instead of after
- supper was potato cake & tuna
 
13.8 this morning...

14.7 before bed

Only starting pumping yesterday, so not sure if I should've corrected before bed and again this morning when I got up.....
 
AJ - poor you! I guess with GP you have to be grateful for any god readings and not beat yourself up too much when it doesn't go right.

Sacol - when did you last take your last long acting insulin? I was advised to wait until that had gone out of my system before doing anything more than just bolusing for foor I was eating.

sounds like your basal is too low.....your levemir should have finished by now. It is tricky to get your basal profile right...takes a while and even then you will have to tweak it now and then.
 
I agree with Phil, a Sunday night dose should be out of your system by now. Have the DSNs told you how to do phased basal tests? Are you due to go to them any time soon?
