Hi Sue, "Hands up" I admit that I didn't. I'm just so scared of blousing at bedtime. Really one of the things of MDI is blousing for everything eaten over 10g carbs. I did have it once suggested on the forum somewhere why don't I maybe just bolus for half the carbs I've eaten at bedtime. I have got my Accu-chek bolus advisor meter after all. I could just enter half the amount of carbs into the meter. I think I did actually do this a while ago ie blousing at bedtime & I was ok.

Gill, I'm going to be very blunt with you.
The way you are going with your almost permanent high numbers you are going to run into major problems sooner rather than later. Even though you can not see the damage now it is still gradually happening to you.

As a guestimate as I don't know what carb value your bread was most seem to be about 17 carbs a slice that's a whole meal in carbs for many people. As a type one you need to bolus for everything you eat. Your idea of blousing for snacks over 10 carbs is flawed as well isn't it? Just think about it 5 x 9 gms of snacks in a day 😱
If you really can not bare the idea of blousing for what you eat then go back to the 2 injections a day. I would suspect you would do less damage that way or don't snack or eat at bedtime.

Hi Sue, Thanks for being blunt with me it's what I need!

The carb value of the bread is 18g so x2 slices that's 36g & eaten at bedtime with no bolus!
Bolusing doesn't bother me at all because after all I bolus before each meal ie breakfast, lunch, tea it's just being scared of blousing before I go to bed to sleep. Because I like my suppers how do I stop being scared of blousing before going to bed?
 
Hi Gill, if you really must have supper then have something carb free, problem solved. 🙂
Otherwise you have no choice but to bolus.
 
5.0 today and BP only 112/71. Maybe this keto-adapted malarky can make hair regrow? 🙂
 
8.5 for me the highest I've been in the morning for ages....probably because I had a wonderful meal out yesterday with a cocktail:D
 
8.0 this morning for e, with the added bonus of a runny nose and the sneezes :(
 
7.9 - waking/breakfast for me today

- 6.3 - bedtime - active insulin on board so BG would have dropped lower so ate 1 choc digestive 10.8g carbs
- 9.7 teatime - had Chinese - chicken curry 5g carbs 1/2 tray, fried rice 60g 1/2 tray - 1.5:1 ratio & 11u QA
- ate another 1/2 of 1/2 tray - curry 2g approx. - rice 30g - went to bolus advice on meter 5u QA
