My boyfriend has bought home tests today-will do one I do have a new pack of insulin cartridges, changed the pen 2 days ago

Thanks for the reply’s Have just spoken to my nurse- upped my metformin dose & going to try a ratio of 1-5 for insulin to carb ratio

Hi, yes most days yes, I have tried different injection sites & different breakfasts - low carb which is what I have been doing recently - even today though it happens- I just cannot see why this is happening!! I have emailed my nurse - as I’ll be honest I don’t know whether I’m coming or going...

Will ring docs on Monday to ask about the Cortisol check [emoji106] never thought about that

I feel I’m missing that trickle effect of insulin (that you get with the pump) numbers went as high as 17 this am, came down to 10 at 11am Also the frustrating part is I truly feel my nurse is just like deal with it!! She seems to think things are going well & I need to focus on the positives?!!

I take my insulin about 15 mins before I eat

My reading before bed is normally between 7-9
