Helping out PLEASE join in - full day test results

[trophywench]

Mike - Kaylz doesn't have the kind of control we might, over details like this - she's on MDI ! And she's pretty insulin sensitive from what I've seen of her results since she joined us.

Kaylz - I've always tried upping or downing doses on a couple of occasions but not consecutive days - say a weekday and a weekend day, with the same food on each. Then to fine tune it - try a few grammes of carb more or less until I get as close as I can, to where I want to be. You just have to experiment on this type of scenario yourself for your whole life before you - without outside assistance - so just don't get bogged down in minutiae and fear at this stage, is all I'm saying !

Oh can I join in too? Interesting to see what others BG is like. Especially since i've just started injecting insulin. At the moment i've only been advised to do pre meal testing & before bedtime. I'm going to ask about post meal tests at my app tomorrow.

9.2 Pre Breakfast
9.2 Pre Lunch
12.7 Pre Dinner

9.4 Pre Breakfast
8.1 Pre Lunch
5.8 - this was done roughly 2 hrs after lunch due to me feeling sick. Felt awful.

I don't have any idea about upping insulin or that yet. I just take the units my DSN advised. Back tomorrow to see her. Xx

Would love to see numbers like that, the 4.7 just a bit low for some, though had similar results when testing having eaten something. Seems to be like I was catching my levels on the way down and the food I had eaten had not worked it's way into the system and the levels were still dropping after the initial test.

 

[Kaylz]

I know that but it's the problems with my insulin I'm concerned about as I can drop hypo from a 6 in 2 hours x

 

[pav]

Not found the answer to that one as even being on meds that cause hypos I can go from the high teens to hypo in around a couple of hours, with eating the same foods day in day out.
