Hello @Spicey245 Thank you that's very much helpful and getting info from people who have experienced it already really helps. I've been monitoring how I'm going and fingers crossed after 3 nights in a row of lows...I think I've sussed it! I know its all trial and error...feel like I'm starting...

Thank you @catapillar. Yes I was on 10:1 ratio, but I feel I'm having too much around the big meal times for this to be happening. So would the more insulin I'm receiving at tea times be more active in my body for longer? (could explain the hypo 2 hours after food) whereas if I took less, is it...

I have tried today just doing my normal one dose of bolus and 2 hours later my bloods dropped down very fast. My bg was 12.2 before tea, I had a chicken tikka masala with pilau rice (ready meal) with carbs of 72g, quarter of a naan bread which I counted as 15g (small bit) and took 9units of...

That's really helpful @noblehead. There's so much to consider isn't there when all you want to do is eat and enjoy some delicious food!! 20 years on and you'd think it'd get easier ha! Thanks again

Thanks @noblehead I've been looking at the dual wave options as well. So would it depend on what you're eating and what your bg is before meal as to how long you do the dual wave for?

Thanks Thanks I'll give that guide a go. I'm only going by the book I got with my pump and the info from the nurses, but there's so much more to learn by the sounds of it. Just want to avoid these after meal hypos Thanks again Edit: Cleaning up a bit.

Thanks @tim2000s picture makes much more sense its having a fresh mind outside the box to see what I'm not seeing myself which is hugely helpful, thank you. So this would explain the horrendous low for over 3 hours and it not shifting until later then. Thanks once again

Thanks @Juicyj that's really helpful and makes sense...so much info to take in at once! But that's really helpful thank you. I'd rather be avoiding these horrible hypos straight after food when I'm already too full!

Hi @catapillar the square wave had gone in over the hour I'd set it for and shortly after I'd felt hypo. The active insulin was in my body and I put on temp basal while hypo so there was nomore going in, but it was already too late. I'm still learning with the pump, its all fresh for me...maybe...

Hello @tim2000s thank you for replying. I had been advised square wave would help with the more higher carb meals and both tea time meals I had chips. First meal being sausage and chips from the chip shop (naughty treat I know!) my blood was 9.0 before hand, I counted 100g carb (going by my carb...

Hi I wonder if anyone can relate to this. Recently been changed to the pump about a month ago, having hospital checks changing by basal to suit me and seemed to be going well. The past two nights I've tried square wave dose with my tea. Readings both tea times have been under 9.0 so I've taken...
