Eeek I hate it when things are sneaky and dont give you even a rough estimate of the Carb values :( I probably just wouldn't have it if I didn't have an idea of how much Insulin I would need .
Hehe ok I'll guess at 16.7 , when are testing again? Ouch isn't 20 units an awful lot? I dont think Iv'e taken that much in a day some days ! 😱

I know, it's well cheeky! Well I know that naan is usually 70g (EEK!) but this was smaller, I gave enough for 60g.

20units is a lot but unfortunately I need alot. 2units per 10g and now ive made my breakfast ratio 2.5units per 10g. I have no idea why I need so much?! type 2 and type 1?? 😉

i'll check now... oh my god it's a miracle! 8.6. Guess that means my 20units was just about right then. No doubt I had a massive spike right after eating though.

wahey you've moved away from the nakedness, well done girls! I'm not a fan of squirty cream, well not on food anyway...

Crashed to 3 about an hour after my big bowl of pasta and ice cream, and I didn't inject that much as I've been active! So I munched drank and munched more not going to test for a while as it'll pee me off! Grrrrrrr!

same here rossi. but it's very sticky when not used with food.

ehem anyway...

oh dear! guess the exercise must have brought you right down :confused:
 
Hahahaha PMSL @ you two !!! you're going to get Northe'd 😉

Good guess with the Carb >> Insulin ratio for tea then Twin>> will you spike later on though?

(you have to get the non-fat, non-dairy version apparently - that's what samantha from sex & the city says... that was my mistake!!)

Hopefully not! I'm assuming ive already had a large spike! but I dont often do the 2 hour check. it's probably been 3 and a half hours since I ate now.

I tried doing the 2 hour check the other day after a wholemeal sandwich with cheese and tomato. looks like a spike even after a wholemeal sandwich :( 1hr after I was about 13 and then 2 hours a was about 11 :(

I think I tend to notice it later as I rarely test 2 hours later unless I feel hypo or very high .
 
I'm not happy today :( I corrected a random 14.8 ( I hadn't eaten) and then instead of lowering I went uuuUUUUPP to 17.0 😡 I'm fuming !!! Grrrrr !!! I've just done a big correction now to hopefully go lower >> 🙄
For some reason I seem to go higher with the first correction >> same as yesterday , then only drop after a second correction >> any ideas anyone ??

sorry to hear that AM can you talk to your GP or DSN people at the hospital??
You mentioned you might be moving so haven't sorted it yet, you need to do something to get this under control once and for all.

My GP is only good for repeat scripts , and I don't have a DSN and I've never heard back from the Hospital about his so called referral 🙄
Looks like I'm on my own just like I have been since diagnosis lol 🙄

Sort it out!

Are you moving south? if it's soon fair enough, but you need to be proactive about this Ann Marie, come on think of the advice you would give someone else if the roles were reversed.

I'm going to guess your liver is kicking out glucose?! Sounds like you need to start eating more again :(

Like Rossi says you NEED to get a DSN at a hospital. If you are moving sooon then get a decent hospital down here, otherwise you need to sort your GP. They can't just leave you to deal with it on your own 😡

If I wasnt such a chicken I would phone your GP for you and demand you get seen by a DSN! :D I think you should tell your neighbour, she'll sort you out lol.

Please don't give up, you need to sort this out.
