Creeping up again but bit better overall, think not spiking at breakfast helped

It's the mysugr app, I can email them all the reports. What I mean is that aren't really fussed about the numbers between the ones they ask for

The thing is the team only ask for certain numbers, before meals after meals and midnight so they don't get this kind of picture! I am phoning them later so will bring it up. I pre bolused 20 mins before as she was in the 9s, checked again just before eating and had dropped to the 6s so...

Last night's graph, after tea and overnight, fish fingers and sweetcorn is an issue too it seems.I've just give scrambled egg this morning and no insulin as she's in the 5s and I can't safely give it

I'm not as crazy about it today, I got really overwhelmed by it all yesterday. Got appointment with the whole team next Friday so hopefully we will get a CGM and I can show them our problems. I think what's happened is we dropped all her insulin a few weeks ago but now she needs to go back up...

Thanks I will bring those points up with the team. It was 2hrs later

We have the opposite problem, she spikes like crazy soon after a meal and sometimes will drop to hypo later but not always

We've been told not to give injections in her stomach and only her thighs :/ but yeah as I say I won't consider a pump until I've explored the other options

She still went to 13.5 without eating it all [emoji31]

She was low at bedtime and I was struggling to get her back up, she had 15g sugar before she came up to 6.6 then she continues to rise

Graph from teatime yesterday to now, both meals so far been a nightmare! Breakfast I think her own body must have contributed insulin so not lots I can do there, lunch I'm stumped on again. She had a slice of eggy bread made with seeded bread and fried in butter plus 100g plain Greek yogurt...

2 slices of seeded toast with butter, crusts cut off [emoji28]

She doss have the same breakfast daily but she wakes at various times so not much I can do about that lol

The team have never give proper instructions for corrections and have told me only 'if she's over 7mmol and the dose works out at 1.6 units round it up to 2' ! So after lots of reserch out of desperation I'm working it out myself with the help of the mysugr app. It's the food causing the high...

She had breakfast around 6.30 today, she has a rise like that every morning and after most meals, the lunch one was a bit of a fluke. The basal got dropped before because it was sending her hypo in the early hours [emoji33]

Before was 10, 2hrs after 13.8. Her basal dose went up yesterday :/ she has been coming down in between but soon as she eats it's back up

I feel that's a handy way to describe it although it's not accurate, after all protein raises blood sugar too. I would say on a very basic level though diabetes is glucose (carb) intolerance

15.6mmol and she's not eaten since 12:30, sod this, I can't do it, she's having a low carb dinner [emoji22]

Yes I got the 'well that will happen if you test before 2hrs' too [emoji32] It's something I was considering for her anyway tbh, this will tell me if it's worth the expense anyway

We've been using much smaller drops than before! A few times I've wondered if it would be enough but no issues yet :) Oh and it's pink! Haha
