Hello @spammy
The regime your husband has been advised to follow is now the new way to control bg levels.....being fixed bolus doses with a fixed basal dose as it is thought that adjusting insulin to suit the amount of food that's going to be eaten, is too difficult for most so fixed doses appear to be used. Im notsure how this way of thinking will work out for people especially with bg teststrips being reduced, but I think its thought that its easier to adjust the amount of food containing ccarbohydrate to be eaten than adjust the insulin. At the moment yr husbands bg is dropping too much because of not eating enough carbohydrate or put another way......too much bolus insulin.
Once youve got the amounts of carbohydrate sorted correctly so that bg stays within a good range, the hypo feeling should occur a lot less.
Did the nurse give any advice on how much carbohydrate meals husband needs to eat and what to do if bg goes too low or too high?
