[QUOTE="azure, post: 1429057, member: 39639"] [USER=378414]@cjmags[/USER] If you don't carb count then that could be a large part of the problem you're having. Your bolus insulin will cover a certain amount of carbs for you. If you don't eat that correct amount of carbs, your blood sugar is going to be unpredictable. If you inject and eat too few, you could be struggling against lows for a few hours. My advice for now is to eat some longer acting carbs and keep testing. Long term, you really do need to carb count. It's crucial for good control. If you can't get help from your DSN, then there's an online course you can do: [URL]https://www.bertieonline.org.uk[/URL] And if you don't already have it, I recommend the book Think Like A Pancreas - because that's what you have to do. .
