hi im slightly confused and hope you all can help
I started a no carb diet just over a week ago, the first few days where fantastic I had 15 units of levimir (a drop of approx. 30 units)
I also drop my nova rapid from about 10 units each meal to approx. 2 units each meal but after 2 days I didn't even need the nova rapid as I literally did not eat any carbs
anyway past couple of days I have noticed every time I have tested my blood my sugar levels have risen considerable
for example this morning I have tested and it was 17.9! I had for my tea 2 egg omelette with fried chicken breast and onion and nothing else - I had a glass of water and later on I had a coffee with no sugar
i had for my dinner half a tuna salad which was made up of lettuce cucumber spring onion and walnuts - no dressing just a little bit of salt and my levels shot up to 15.5
i am really confused and just don't have a clue what insulin i should be injecting as by going from DAFNE it is not working out at 1 unit per 10 grams of carbs because i am having approx. 4-5 grams of carbs each meal
they only thing i have started is the odd 20 minute workout and walking more often but i would hardly call it committed at the moment and it isn't every day ?????????????????????
