So for dinner tonight my reading was 5.7. Had 60 grams of carbs and took 6 units of rapid insulin(humalog) to cover the carbs since 1:10 ratio is where I'm at.
Had a cup of coffee with one teaspoon of coffee and a tad bit of semi-skimmed milk with no sugar. I've recently got the libre sensor and over the period of 5 hours my bloods have climbed to 11.0. I know I've taken the correct amount of insulin and my long acting insulin dosage was taken a few hours after my dinnee.
Can coffee raise my levels to 11? I've injected 1 unit to bring it down within range but if coffee is causing this slow climb then I might take a extra unit when comsuming a coffee from now on or just cut out coffee completely. I did wait 4 hours to test again after dinner. Probably is coffee... had one shortly after dinner and noticed before bed that it was 11.0. I'm 100% sure that my ratio is correct since 1.5 units per 10g of carbs always sends me in a low after 1 to 2 hours after meal times.
Let me know anyway
Thank you =).
