Sorry forgot to add. She may have different tolerances st different parts of the day, I know its a mind game this diabetes. With time you will know more than anyone else.
With the reading at 4.7, I would have been tempted to only go for 1u, but you're doing fine. Nothing really worry about.Right tea was really odd! Decided to try out pasta, either she handled it perfectly or its not been absorbed yet
I think most of that rise is 'pizza effect' from her pasta bolognaise, used fatty mince and she had cheese on top. I'd expect the 5g to raise her about 3mmol, it can't all be off one cola bottle!I think you are getting it. Working within the nurses range, looking at chart and making decisions 😉
When a tiny 5g of carb correction goes from 3.8 to 11.5, 3 hours later with a high basal rate dropping it back to 3.2. It makes banging your head against a wall easier![]()
7pmWhat time do you give the levemir
Thank you 🙂I fear that you are so desperate to do the right thing that too many changes may obscure your long term goals.
Right now you have done a remarkable job and fail to give yourself due credit. Your daughter is at relatively low risk from a medical emergency, due to your diligence. You are goal keeping hypo's and keeping her away from the DKA zone. Well done.
Now, you could try bringing the levemir forwards, say half an hour, monitor then reassess. This must be the only change to give a credible response. Then repeat if necessary. Give it a few days before making any additional changes, this will help to know that the result is reliable.
These have be what you want and involve your team with your reasons, evidence and outcomes.
What a wonderful mother you are!!
Thank you 🙂
I think in fact I'm going to leave the dosing as it is for tonight so I can see if the same thing happens, I am feeling the basal isn't lasting 24hrs though
Sounds like a good plan, I give two more days to give a fair balance.Thank you 🙂
