Currently using
Levemir @ 23:00 18 u daily
Novorapid for meals, on average around 6 - 9 units each meal depending on what i'm eating.
I am carbohydrate counting and using ratios to calculate Novorapid doses - frequently 1u:10g
Injecting around 30 mins before meals (most of the time)
I am finding that 2 hours after eating i am often reading between 10mmol - 14mmol
then around 4 - 5 hours after eating, i am having to take extra carbohydrate to counteract hypos
Would this suggest that my basal insuln does is too high? and bolus too low?
Would it benefit me to try and reduce Basal dose and then increase bolus ratios also?
any advice appreciated.
