    Basal test

    My BG is now 14. If it goes above 13 you're meant to cancel the basal test aren't you? I'm On lantus right now but have an appointment with the nurse next week, I think I'll ask to switch to levemir. Tomorrow morning I will put my insulin dose up a unit or two. I currently do 13 at night and...

    Basal test

    Yeah I've read that n still felt unsure. And yeah I know about fasting. As I've just said above though with fasting look what's happened already. I'm up to a 10.4 :(

    Basal test

    Okay I just tested an hour after my last one, I've walked to the bus stop so no major exercise. I've gone from 6.3 to a 10.4 So I'm guessing that's the dawn phenomenon that thing n my liver using glucose... It's madness how I've gone up so much in an hour with no food or drink!

    Best meter?

    Thinking of switching meter as the test strips are really pricey and by law in only untitled to 4 boxes if test strips. So as I'm making the change which meter is the most accurate? Or which one are most of you using?

    I was on levemir but the docs took me off it a few years back. This year I told my doc that I wanted to make my lantis into two injections as I felt it would be better to do it one at night n one in the morn. When I go to the docs I will ask to switch back to levemir as I think that sounds a...

    I will give those links a read. I start reading them then find I can't understand things. High BG makes me feel very short tempered n my attention span is not great. Again I thought all this was normal but they're all side effects of be being high all the time :(

    Help with my type 1

    And I've injected 1unit this morning because I was so high, but that's done nothing. I can feel in still high. If i inject without food (when I'm high) It doesn't work. So what I surely have to do is have something small when I get home and inject extra..?
