Hi

[Leadinglights]

Welcome to the forum @Pwinnock13

I am also very interested to hear more about your approach, as it’s not one I’ve heard of before!

You may have to forgive us for our incessant questioning. Glad you’ve found a system that works well for you. 🙂

Do you carry fast-acting glucose with you in case of low blood sugars? Sounds like that might have been helpful in the restaurant.

At 2.1 I would certainly want to be taking some fast acting carbs. rather than ‘normal‘ food personally.

This is getting very confusing as there are some one line comments on the OP's other thread, would it benefit to merge?

Do we need to ?
I understand the currently but the OP's concerns have been addressed.
Their dosing regime is unusual but works for them most of the time.
If I posted whenever I had a hypo and got this level if feedback, I would stop posting.

I think the concern is that whilst the poster feels this system works for them, 2.1 with no clear cause is a very low hypo, and the way the other thread was written saying that this is the restaurants fault for delaying the meal, suggests it is not uncommon for the OP to have a hypo of this level from a delayed meal.

There is a lot of knowledge here but not of this particular system, so OP if you’d like some input on how to reduce the risk of this type of hypo then you do need to give some more detailed replies. Eg a list of times, bgs, food, and insulin as an example.

If you’re happy with your current bgs and dosing system perhaps just say that you aren’t looking for any input on that so that you don’t get so many questions. Any info you would be happy to give on how you calculate doses would be of general interest though I think.

Hi I am happy with my treatment.

 

[everydayupsanddowns]

Yes I do and took a few.

Ah one of those nasty stubborn ones! Yes I think we all have those from time to time - and not necessarily with any precipitating cause.

Sounds like you are happy with how things are going for you - but I can see that it must have been a frustrating and possibly frightening experience not to be able to convey the potential seriousness of the situation.

Not much you can do, I guess, unless it happens a few more times and you can spot some kind of pattern (exercise the previous day or whatever). But let’s hope it was just a one-off and doesn’t happen again!

Could people please read my introduction, I only mentioned the sliding scale on here in response to a question they had.
