Hi Everyone,
James is having a pattern with his morning readings at the moment in that he wakes up with a good reading, then 1 and half hours later after having porridge and toast for breakfast his readings are sometimes in double figures, then even if he does not do a correction, he comes down with a bump 2 hours later. He is going to his clinic on Monday but in the meantime the DSN has suggested he does a multiwave dose. On reading the instruction manual we are both lost in that he was not sure if he would give himself too much insulin and have a problem during college.
His dose for the morning was 7.5 he wanted to give a 5 dose straightaway and then a 2.5 - 4 hours later, but he was a bit unsure about it and wondered if anyone on here is using this type of drip feed and could give us an Idiots guide so he might try again tomorrow morning. Failing that, we will wait to see the DSN on Monday and maybe he needs to adjust his basal too.
Hope there is someone out there who can help
Cheers
