Yeah I might try splitting it or increasing it slightly. Just noticed past 3 days it always creeps up after 3-4 hours and I yhought my lantus would keep ot stable. I'll start adjusting or splitting tomorrow or so. Thank you =).

So I've been adjusting and working out my ratio for a few weeks now. Found that 2:10 ratio for breakfast and lunch/dinner it's 1:08. 3 hours or so after meals my levels rise slowly until I have my next meal. So lets say I'm 6.6 before eating I'll inject 15 minutes before eating. Then check 2...

Thanks Antje77. Wasn't 100% thinking since it zig zags a bit but if it's below 10 and above 4.9 I'm happy =).

Got the hang of the ratio I think. 2:10 in the morning, 1:8 at lunch and dinner for my humalog. Then 23 units around 10pm for lantus. Some readings like 9.0 are within my range but I don't correct a extra dose of humalog unless it's with a meal or after 3-4 hours after the humalog was worn off...

Aww thank you Vic =). I was told if I didn't take control back in July I'd go blind by 35(28 at the moment). Evrr since then I've got my h1b down to 64 from 90, got carb counting and insulin ratio perfect and got a libre to view how my blood levels do over 24 hours. I don't want to loose anymore...

I'm currently having treatment. 3rd session of laser was done on Friday and they will contact me in 4 weeks. During the first 2 treatments my floaters were really bad. Strong black wishy ink in my vision and even though it healed my vision remained blurred. I have visual snow also which is...

Was 90 back in March. Had it done in September and it was 64. Now I'm on the libre, started the correct carb counting and havent gone past 13 blood glucose for a week now. Had a few hypos but still learning the best long acting dosage for me since my hypos happen when I'm sleeping. Hopefully...

Thank you =). Hopefully I've got it right. I'll try to do 1u per 8g of carbs since it's similiar to what I'm doing now with 1.25 per 10. Need to figure out my long acting since when I go to bed my bloods can be 7-9 and during the early morning hours(4-7) my bloods drop to 3.5 or so. Might start...

2 units per 10g carbs sends me into a low 1-2 hours after eating and also 1 and a half units also. 1 unit per 10g of carbs isn't enough since it sends my blood glucose above my target range by 2-4. I figured out that 1 and a quarter units of humalog per 10g of carba keeps my bloods steady and...

I'm fairly new to the forums and the amount of knowledge and kindness on these forums have made me feel not alone. The advice, feedback and troubleshooting posts are great. I know diabetes can affect everything and to find similiar diabetics with the same problems as me certainly makes me feel...

Also I use to have bad hypo symptoms like shaking, sweeting or hunger but now I only know I'm low when my eyes blur and I can't read the texts on my phone due to it being so bright and blurry.

Yes. I'm gonna cut down on coffee or switch to decaff. I just sometimes need that boost in the morning and only consume 2-4 cups a day. I'll see how to goes, thank you =).

Thank you guys. Well last night my bloods were hobering around 6.7. Had my long acting insulin and lowered my unit by 1 so 24 units. Woke this morning at 7 to get ready for my laser treatment and noticed during the hours of 3am to 6pm I had a hypo. No correction dosage was made after dinner...

For the meal I had chicken soup with 2 slices of wholemeal bread. Soup was 20g of carbs and bread was 40g for both slices. Maybe I'm still adjusting to seeing the arrows and still trying to get a grasp on predicting where it's heading. Thanks for the feedback =).

All was well before bed. Had a 10.5 reading and was a few hours after my lantus(long acting insulin). Took 1 unit of humalog to bring my bloods back to 7-8. Well think I messed up lol. Think I need to lower my basil a tad bit and if I see a 10 reading before bed then I should not bother taking 1...

Thank you for your advice. I do tend to drink a lot of coffee during the day so gonna cut down to a few now =).

Thank you. I'll try that. Cut everything bad out of my diet(pizza, sugar, all the bad stuff) and pretty much stick to wholegrain carbs, greens and proteins and only touch sweet stuff when I'm on a hypo. I'll try tomorrow and see whay happens =).

I used to skip meals and not take rapid insulin and wondered why my bloods were going up without eating. My diabetes nurse told me you need to take your insulin and long actinf insulin and keep to a routine. Try eat something with some carbs and take your fast acting insulin 15 minutes before...

Have the same issue. Had 2 sessions of laser treatment these past 2 months and my eye floaters suddenly come on when I was sleeping. Woke up and had a few black ink swishes in my left centre view. Went to the eye hospital and was told I have advanced diabetic retinopathy. Doesn't help that I...

Yes! Got my libre today. Even though I had a cheeky mcdonalds(was a treat, rarely have it) my bloods were 10.0 before I startes to eat. Took my insulin 15 mintues before and injected 17+1 units( one extra to bring it within range). Was 170 carbs in total and my reading after 4 hours was 5.7...
