[QUOTE="PepperTed, post: 747060, member: 155048"] I'm on an Animas Vibe with Novorapid. My sugars today have been: 2am - 9.5 (1.5u correction) 6am - 9.8 (3.25u correction) 10am - 11.6 (7g of carbs and 7.45u) 12pm - 12.4 (3.5u correction) 1pm - 13.2 (FED UP, 12 units of correction!) 2pm - 12.6 (1.2u correction) 3pm - 12.1 (5.8u correction) 4pm - 11.4 (0 units, thought I'd had enough and it was finally coming down...) 5pm - 11.4 (4.9u correction) Now - 11.2 (is there any flipping point in trying to correct???) So I make that 33 units correction units with apparently no effect. Most of the changes could be due to natural margins of error from my blood meter. I've had 7g of carbs the entire day, and hardly any food, where the heck is all this insulin going? Obviously my basal needs to be raised. A DSN called me at 3pm and told me to put a temp +20% basal on, which I did. So far it doesn't seem to have made any difference. I've just had a pretty carb-y dinner, just in case the lack of food / carbs was somehow contributing to this - I don't really understand it all yet. Had parsnips, carrots, peas, flour (yorkshire pudding) and a small bit of cake for dessert. Let's see how bad it gets now :( [/QUOTE]
