[QUOTE="billybadger, post: 594760, member: 55304"] Hi Beverley I would start by finding a way to ensure you take your night time background insulin, this will help with working out how much quick acting insulin you will need to take to match your carb intake. Do you always take it at the same time? Could you set an alarm to remind yourself to take it, some meters have an alarm you can set? I use a Timesulin cap on my quick acting pen, this has a read out to tell me when I last took the lid off to administer a dose but I don't think this would help as a reminder to take your night time dose. I haven't got any tips for recipes I'm afraid, I haven't cut down greatly on my carb intake, I just carb count and administer quick acting to cover the carbs, but my diet has never been overly heavy on carbs. :) [/QUOTE]
