Hi
Type 1, only diagnosed a month ago.
I've just started on Novorapid and Levemir from Humulin M3, and have struggled to control my glucose levels. I'm carb counting using a accuchek expert had 3 occasions where my glucose levels have dropped sharply about 1h 15mins after eating. I think either my ratio is wrong, or wondering if my food is being absorbed more slowly than the insulin is working. Seems to happen on higher doses (6-8 units) and lunch / evening. The problem is I then have to eat more to prevent a hypo - then my levels shoot right up from 4s to 15-20 3-4 hours later. Any advice? Or any similar experiences? Maybe I just need time to work out what suits me.
