I also use fiasp which is the same as novo rapid with the addition of vitamin B3 I believe, which speeds up how quickly it works. I don’t have a regular diet and eat a whole variety of different foods so sometimes hard to understand what each food will do unfortunately but thanks for the tips...

I’ve been keeping my blood sugars under pretty great control recently but over the last few days I’ve been having issues with my bolus insulin and going hypo. Last night I ate dinner, a big bowl of pasta, and my bloods were 6.5mmol. I have myself 3 units of my bolus insulin, which is a lot...

I’ve thought about doing zero carb in the evening as it just seems to have such an impact on my BGL’s. maybe I’ll give it a go over the next few weeks and see what happens. Thanks for the advice

I haven’t but I will definitely do this. In the morning I do feel like they are high. Always dry mouth and bursting for the loo...

@kitedoc Thanks so much for you message! Really appreciate the time. And @Muneeb and @Juicyj Type and dose: I use Fiasp as my short acting and use a 1:10 ratio. I use Levemir as my long acting and do 16 units in the morning (7am) and 15 at bedtime (10:30pm). BSL’s the night before. They...

I am using a CGM and have noticed that every night at about mid night my blood sugars begin to rise from about 6mmol to 17-19mmop when I wake up. I’m very confused as my sugars are always very good before bed. Can anyone help?

Does anyone know if there are any insulin pumps that work in conjunction with iPhone? Also, any recommendations on insulin pumps welcome. Thanks Ned

Anyone now how to work out your insulin ratios (basal / bolus)? Can't seem to get my novo rapid on point. Thanks Ed

I am flying to the Philippines which is 8hrs ahead of the U.K. At the moment I do 13 units of my basal insulin at 7am and 15 units at 10pm. Not quite sure how to alter doses for the new time zone.... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ned

I do split yes. I do 13 units in the morning at 7am and 13 in the evening at about 10pm. Could that be too long a gap between injections?

Not particularly, i eat a pretty balanced diet. last night I had a potato and coconut curry that had roughly 60g of carbs. I found that if I do anymore novo rapid I end up going hypo which then again results in me having nighttime spikes. N

Can insulin ratios be different at different times during the day? My blood sugars are rising every day at about mid night and I can't figure out why. It can't be my levemir as I do this maybe an hour and a half before the rise starts to happen. I tested my BG last night before I went to...

Thanks all just ordered one. Morning coffee to be cut out!

Any thought on this meter? Is it worth the price?

I am going slightly hypo every day at 4pm. Would this be due to my lunch short acting insulin or morning long acting? Thanks
