Thank you :) I'm quite insulin sensitive with good hypo awareness luckily! I will ask my team next week why 10!! I think I sounded like a generic number rather than individually suited to me. At the moment I use 1 unit for 2mmol drop but think I need to adjust this for time of day - not...

After a bit of advice......………… I love bread - at the moment I have a multigrain granary sliced loaf from Tesco. Does anyone have any recommendation for low GI breads they have used or is it best to avoid bread all together?!?! Does anyone make their own bread and have good recipes?!?!? x
