Hi All
I am confused in the past week, been coping really well with keeping spikes to a minimum until this past week
I suffer from DP which i control by taking 3 units upon waking.
At lunchtime yesterday my BS was 6.1 at 13.30, I took 2 units novarapid to cover my 50g carb lunch, a ratio which seems to work. I then waited 30 minutes before eating and ate at 14.00. 1 hour 30 minutes later my BS was at 12.6. By 18.00 when I was due to have dinner I was back down to 5.8, that to me seems to suggest my ratio is correct because I am back where i started after 5 hours. Obviously a spike of 6 mmol is not good or sustainable for too long. The above is what happened yesterday, similar things have been happening for a week now
Any advice or ideas please?? All input greatly welcome
