You have had a cracking day today so far with your levels Gill. Hope I haven't jinxed you for tonight.

If that had been me, I would have just injected 5 units because you are in range with a reading of 7.2 and you would really only need 5 units for 51g carbs (rounded down because 51 is closer to 50 than 55) and you want to be above 8 at bedtime rather than mid range.

Firstly thanks for saying how well I've done with my levels today 🙂

Secondly I appreciate what you've said about what you'd have done but I was following the advice of the bolus advisor so if I suddenly start changing things on there it might cause problems but I don't know.

Fingers crossed you haven't jinxed things for my bedtime level later tonight because if you have I will know who to blame 😉

What happened last night at bedtime Gill? Need to know if I have some extra burden of blame to carry around with me today for jinxing you! 😱

Because I was going to bed I dismissed the 1.0 units - I was 8.2 on waking at 8:21am and as you can see 8.2 at breakfast as well
 
Excellent. Didn't think my ears had been burning last night but just wanted to check that you hadn't been cursing me! 😉

Two things wrong here
I forgot to do a 0.5 correction at breakfast time and only looked at the 4.5 units for food
Had a salmon & cucumber sandwich and crisps in Morrisons cafe - took the carb count for these off carbs and cals and I'm sure it's wrong

so I'm a bit of a sad bunny today
 
If you had done the extra 0.5 this morning you would only expect to be approx. 1.5 lower so still around 10-11. That isn’t terrible though, you can’t be perfect all the time!
