Just a quick update before i go out, am in shock :shock: 02:30 - 5.8 07:43 - 6.7 I really hope this is not a one off :lol:

From what i've read it takes 3-4 hours to start having an effect and peak activity is 9-14 hours, also read that the more you take the longer it lasts. I have read that you 'should' see the effecs of dose changes after 24 hours but also read it is more like 3 days as it builds up in your system...

Completely understand you there [hug] I am still struggling with her nightly rises! Alhough i do think i have sorted out the daytime now so at least she generally only spends 12 hours high now :roll:

Me and my daughter try to guess according to the shade of her blood :lol: pale is usually low dark is usually high mid is usually about right

That's fantastic news leggott :D

Oh i am glad that Khaleb seems to be settling down again :D Yes, i knew that snack and injection yesterday afternoon was a really bad idea but i am just so fed up of constantly saying no to her all the time :oops: I don't know if it was the 2 los of insulin or the pasta that caused the...

No i did not know that, i know nothing about the different food absorption rates despite keeping asking at the hospital :( I know that high sugary carbs are quick release and starchy carbs are more slow release but that is it! Hhhmmm i wonder where i should start with splitting for pasta then...

Hopefully his levels will go back to normal soon then. I don't restrict carbs at all, obviously when she was on premix i would keep them at a set level for each meal, i think growing children need carbs although i try not to have too many sugary carbs. Well the 1:10 ratio was too much Tuesday...

Oh that is brilliant news about his results :D Yup i got told the same by a dr at the end of June that her insulin should be a 50:50 split and not the 65% Levemir : 35% Novorapid that she seems to be on, i queried that with her DSN as i felt like i already had enough to be worrying about with...

Oh no :shock: I wonder what caused those lows? Good Luck at clinic :) Just popped online quickly to update the rest of the night before i get dressed and go out, will be having McDonalds for lunch so i think i'll do that injection after she's eaten as it might be slower than her usual...

I worked out my daughters correction dose similar to how sophia did above. She has not started periods yet so no help there.

I agree with everything you have written above, i hate trying to plan things too far into the future although i am starting to plan a few things a couple of months ahead. So you should be very proud of yourself, you do an amazing job with Khaleb all by yourself and you have been like a lifeline...

I think the daytime is more or less ok now but these highs at night are doing my head in now!! I gave a correction at 11pm last night which had hardly any effect on her levels :? Last night she did her injections after eating and the same tonight and will carry on doing that this week to see...

Hi Jen, has Khaleb still been ok? All was ok when i went to bed Thursday night but something must have happened after that as she woke quite high but i don't know what happened or when cos i slept through the 3am alarm :oops: That seemed to have a knock on effect til afer lunch Friday and i...

Aaawww i will keep my fingers crossed that he is not too poorly :( I think you do an amazing job considering he has down's as well. I have no idea about the higher levels last night, all i can think of was it might have been a delayed food rise, she had curry, rice, naan bread, choc covered...

Thanks Jen, the reading i was most unhappy with was the 17:10 as she seemed to go up a lot from the 15:00 reading, i made her rinse her hands and test again incase it was wrong! Last nights readings were dire :shock: I even braved a correction when i went to bed but it didn't seem to have much...

Oh no poor khaleb and poor you :( It seems to be that i can get 2 days good readings and then it all seems 'out' again which is frustrating and i am not known for my patience either! Normal day at home today and looking at todays readings i 'think' the morning levemir 'might' need to go back...

Oh i didn't know the body tried to get rid of glucose itself :oops: No, never heard of it but just watched it and it is very true!! Last nights readings were pretty similar to the previous night and i know the carbs were right! 17:10 - 6.3, 18L, 5NR, 72g 20:00 - 14.7 22:10 - 16.7 07:05 - 9.7...

Originally i thought it was just the excitement of going on trains!! But the 2nd time it happened it got me thinking.... Today's train journeys to London and back: No chewing gum, no sugar free sweets, just water No hypos I know it could still be co-incidence but i think i will ban chewing gum...

Ah thanks Nigel, i shall do that in future if it is a while til the next meal. The ins and outs were not really explained to me, it was a case of: you've already got novorapid so here's some levemir and another pen, start on these doses and see how you go. That was all i was told!!
