Hi all,
Hoping someone can shed some light on their thoughts on correction doses.
At the moment I am seeing a diabetic nurse weekly to tighten my blood sugar levels after meals and first thing in the morning.
Recently, she asked me to decrease my background insulin from 27 units to 24 units and today I have woken up with a fasting reading of 10.5 whereas before I have been between 3.7 and 4.7 everyday.
I tried a correction dose with my breakfast insulin dose as my diabetic nurse has instructed me to only correct when injecting for my next meal?
Unfortunately, after an hour of my breakfast my blood sugar was 15.9.
What would you do? Wait until the next meal like she's told me to do or give extra insulin straightaway?
Thanks in advance
