[QUOTE="navigator, post: 975492, member: 206962"] This post is written on behalf of my brother. I thought that if we regularly do blood sugar tests before eating and two hours after eating it would be possible adjust the type food being eaten to get a better result. I also understood that the readings before and after would make it possible to adjust the amount, type and timing of the insulin needed. If the blood sugar test readings are "suspect" what do we base that adjustment on. My brother was recently in hospital due to CKD and was given 1 unit of bloods. Before admission his blood sugar test were steady and in the right ball park. For some while he had been on 20 units on waking and 26 on going to bed. After the blood transfusion these two values were changed to 6 and 8. On waking his blood sugar result is around 7 and at bed time [2 hours after a light snack] BS is around 8. What do you think has the biggest effect on his insulin needs? [/QUOTE]
