Thanks, I'll give it a go and see what happens. Thanks for your help; I really appreciate it.

Hi @robert72 and @azure. A nurse told me to take as much basal as I needed to get me to wake up around the normal range as possible and that seems to be working as I'm getting up, generally speaking, within range on certain days. It's just hard to test the overnight as I'm a teacher and need my...

Hi everyone Can anyone have a look over my results? I'm finding it really hard to get my control stable. The only time when it's ever looking good is if I'm low carbing or just running off my basal. Both aren't really tenable for me at the moment. Last night I went out and had a meal with a...

Hi Gemma This link's pretty helpful: https://www.uclh.nhs.uk/PandV/PIL/Patient%20information%20leaflets/Correcting%20a%20high%20blood%20glucose%20level.pdf Seems to work for me if I use my total daily dose over a few days. But it shows me how 1 unit reducing my blood sugar by 3mmol as...

Side note, I just looked up the pub and I went on a date there years ago and could never remember where or what it was called! Pleasant surprise. Great choice @ewelina !

I think I can make that. :)

I'll try to come too. Depending on how crazy school is being that week!

This might sound stupid, but everyone is saying these rolls do or don't spike up their bg. Are people not injecting enough to cover it or is their basal enough? I don't know much about low carbing...

What's cheesecake fluff? [emoji39]

Nope, I don't think I am; although I am trying to lose a bit more weight gradually. I'm 84kg and a "healthy" BMI according to the NHS.

Thanks for your advice noblehead. You're right, the basal is too low; I am working on increasing the basal and I'll start tonight going up to 30u AM and 30u PM and see where that brings me. I went and saw my old DSN from home (back for Christmas) and she said not to be afraid to ramp up the...

Hi all Long story short, my diabetes has been terrible for the past 15 years since diagnosis. High HBA1c at 10.3. I went to hospital to meet with the DNS last month and we devised a new regime, but it's not really working too well yet. I've been having really out of control blood sugar...

Thanks, petdell. I was thinking of increasing to 16 tonight as I wake up too high. I'll also up the morning Levermir to 16 too. I think I can handle it. I just feel terrible when it's high. I think this is a good time to road test it as I can focus in on it without work etc. Urban racer...

Anyone? I want to try and increase the Levermir and not be as high all the time. Thanks.

I wondered that, too, but the DSN said that half my insulin should be long acting and she worked it out as being the 14u as I'm currently not eating as much as I was before. I was eating to match he insulin rather than having the freedom to eat later etc. I think she calculated it on my weight...

Hi all I've recently changed my insulin from once a day Levermir at 44 units to twice a day (first at 12u and now at 14u at 10am and 10pm each) and I was injecting roughly 20-22u per meal of NovoRapid. The thing is I was under the impression that my Levermir should bring me between 5 to 7...
