Night mare run of hypo's

[Ellie Jones]

Since Saturday I've done nothing but have one hypo after another... And the clocks going back on Sunday as done nothing but increase them..

My basal seems fine perhaps might need a tweak since the clock change..

But it seems all my bolus ratio's are completely out..

I lied to my pump this morning telling it I was eating less carbs than I was.. But still ended up having a hypo after the two hour mark at 2 hours I was 5.3, then by 2.5 hours I was 3.6😱 Normally I wouldn't expect more than a 1mmol/l drop after 2 hour mark..

And it seems all my bolus are doing this through out the day..

I'm going through the same Ellie....weird isn't it? I don't think it's the clocks though .......keep turning my basals down!

Ellie - depending on what reductions you have programmed in for exercise, why not tell it Exercise 1, or whatever seems the appropriate %age - saves the mental arithmetic and having to manually alter the bolus dose!

I have had problems with my pump as well regarding bolus. The bolus has been short changing me. I found this out by basal test wich is spot on, then measuring 5 u into a measuring spoon and then drawing this up into a syringe.

Since doing my bolus by syringe no problems at all. I am awaiting the delivery of a new pump today.

Good detection work! 🙂

I normally very stable control wise and when I hit the wobbles, I normally aware what is laying behind them..

I've checked the bolus delivery that's fine giving what it should.. At first I thought that Saturday was just that I was doing a major clear out, and Sunday was a lag from this..

But yesterday and today just don't make sense, No monthly involved it just and surely I can't still be lagging from Saturday..

Using either of my two exterise setting wouldn't shave enough off my bolus hence why telling lies to my meter on the carb count..

My basal has dropped 2u over the last week or so too. How odd!

Currently at the lowest level for about ten years.

Hee hee Mike - yours is psychosomatic, your body has done it specially to make you query whether you are really in need of that new electronic gizmo or not!!
