Hi All
I went to see my diabetic nurse last wednesday and she looked through my blood glucose dairy where it showed untold amounts of HYPOS through the weeks. She then asked me what do i do if i have highs of which i replied if over 16 i do a correction dose of insulin, she then asked how do i treat hypos of which i said i have some lucazade then i eat some food with carbs in to bring my levels back up. I had not seen this nurse before but she then rang me a few days later telling me not to do no correction doses of insulin and instead of doing my 1-1 ratio (1 unit of insulin to each 10g carbs) to do 0.5-1 ratio (0.5 units of insulin to each 10g carbs)
i thought this to be abit strange as i have never known of anyone doing this before but i thought i would give anything a try. But a few days on my sugar levels are really high as i am not having enough insulin, so my hubby said don't do it anymore high sugars will cause more harm then good my levels were ranging from 18 to 24. I'm seeing my consultant wednesday to see what he says but i find her idea very strange.
