[QUOTE="fletchweb, post: 1507196, member: 318202"] Good that you're down to 15.1 instead of the 20s. I've hit the 20s for very short periods of time due to foolishness and just for that short duration it wipes me out. A technique you might want to consider while adjusting your insulin - do it gradual set the high bar to 15. Meaning okay I'm going to try to maintain my sugars so they will go no higher than 15 - once that becomes easy than go to 13, than 12, than 11 etc. That gradual adjustment will also give you valuable experience of the affect of insulin increases and your sensitivity levels to those increases. People tend to be all over the map in regard to insulin sensitivity. An addition of a couple of units can have a significant impact on some while have next to no impact on others. The gradual approach will be a way of determining how you react to your insulin and could potential avoid hypos. I suspect in another couple of weeks your highs won;t be as high as they are now..\ Many of us have endured the same struggle so you're by no means alone. [/QUOTE]
