[QUOTE="Leight0n, post: 1349818, member: 365710"] I was only diagnosed a week ago but my levels have come down from 4 days of double figures to the last 3 being consistently where they should be. With that in mind I decided to have a few drinks this evening whilst at home. I'm on 14 Lantus and 8 Novorapid for breakfast and 6 before lunch and evening meal. I tested my bloods before my evening meal and it was 6.4. Tested 2 hours later and it was 6.4 still. I had chicken, some oven chips, salad, a slice of the kids pizza (small but probably 20g carbs worth!) and a bottle of beer!!?? I was a bit surprised so did a control test and the machine is working fine. Since then I've had 2 spiced rums and Coke Zero. Tested at 22:40 and it was 5.2? Had another beer and another slice of pizza and it is 5.3? It's not increased at all really. I know that we all react differently but I was expecting double figures when testing? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
