Morning everybody & I hope you're all keeping well 🙂 I've not posted on here since Nov 2nd so here goes with a little catch up

Fri Nov 3rd
10.0

Sat Nov 4th
19.6 - maybe from dinner last night ~ Indian & ate out

Sun Nov 5th
12.3 ~ again maybe a rise from dinner ~ chinese takeaway

Mon Nov 6th
6.4

Tues Nov 7th
14.2 ~ ate chinese takeaway for dinner last night

Wed Nov 8th
10.7

Thur Nov 9th
11.8

Today
12.3

apart from the mornings where I ate Indian or chinese I have no idea what the high morning readings are ~ lunchtime readings are perfect then I get a sudden rise at dinner which continues through to bedtime then holds perfectly until waking which is suggesting that my levemir is working as is should do but with high numbers ~ during the night my readings seem to drop ~ my DSN has suggested droping levemir by 2iu so from 8iu to 6iu which I started on Thursday evening & so far no change from bedtime to waking!

Hi Simon - coo, that's a Novo-Nordisk diary, haven't seen one of those for years, I thought they'd stopped making them! 🙂 My observation would be that you're not fluctuating much overnight, the problem seems to be with your evening meal bolus being insufficient, leaving you high before bed. When do you take your lantus, is it before bed? There's an outside chance that it may be running out towards evening if so. Personally, I wouldn't have advised increasing both insulins as it makes it difficult to see where the problem may lie and how to overcome it. Ideally, I would have suggested you do a basal test first to see if your lantus dose is OK - if shown to be too low then increase that, then consider changing the meal bolus if necessary. Changing just one thing at a time helps to avoid confusion. You might want to ask your DSN about taking this approach.
 
Thanks, i take the Lantus on a morning now 28 from 24 thats sounds good changing one at a time keep the Bolus same and see what lantus does first i know i can go upto 8 if necessary im a little worried every time they do this i have to trust again .

You're going through a learning process Simon, it can take time and experience to get things settled down to an appropriate level. You'll start to get an instinctive feeling for what is required eventually, but for now it's a case of a little cautious experimentation and careful recording of results whilst you start to see patterns emerge 🙂
 
Morning Peeps
Had a little lie in this morning
At 6.17 am I showed a 5
Off to make some coffee need to wake this body up
The Shanghai Marathon tomorrow so the centre of this HUGE metropolis and its 30+ million people will be hell on earth.
Together the population of Shanghai and Beijing combined it is higher than that of the UK in total.
Going to avoid that at all costs.
Have a great day All
