Thank you so much. Very helpful

thank you. Yes I am on nurorapid pre breakfast, pre lunch and pre tea, and Levemir overnight

thank you. I am learning a lot

but also, as I say these levels aren't high for me...I have been coming down from 30 due to 2 months of incorrect treatment

Thank you...that is part of what I'm asking on here. I am a complete novice and feel very in the dark and left to my own devices far too soon with too little coaching about how to carb count. That's why all the replies here have been so helpful

Thank you...I have no idea what BASAL or BOLUS means I'm afraid!

thank you...but please note my other replies...the starting reading of 16 is not high for me, as I have been coming down from 30 as I was wrongly diagnosed and treated for the first 2 months. They thought I was type 2 and put me on metformin, which did nothing as I was really type 1. The nurses...

I have contacted my nurse by email so I will get a reply in time. I'll be ok, but I have certainly never heard of split dose before

my ketones are ok at 0.4. Its not an a & e matter, I'm sure of that - but as my earlier posts explained, my numbers are generally in the teens as I was wrongly diagnosed, and therefore treated, for the first 2 months. They don't want me to come down too quickly over fears that my eyesight will...

no - I did 12 as I did 9 for the 87 carbs plus the other 3 to take into account my target of 8.5, so 9 + 3 = 12. That's what I have been told to do

thank you. It's very complicated isn't it?! I'll get there. I am aware of Bertie online, and am yet to be referred to DAFNE. I think by the sounds of it I have been treating carbs from Carbs & Cals as gospel and need to consider fats too. I am going to contact my nurses again too after this, as...

Thank you. I generally have high numbers as I was diagnosed so late on, as I say I was doing type 2 treatment for 2 months when I had type 1 all along. But my pre lunch reading was 16.9 (which as I say was par for the course and not concerning), I did 12 dials of insulin to match the 90 carbs...

thank you - still learning to use the forum - sorry for the late reply

Hi all I am what my nurses call "still newly diagnosed" (I began type 1 treatment in mid-July having been wrongly diagnosed as type 2) and have only just been introduced to carb-counting. My nurses recommended "Carbs & Cals" app and book. Today we went out for lunch and I looked up the menu and...

No i cleaned my hands. Thanks for all the advice

Thank you both. Very informative.

Just cut my finger quite badly cooking just before testing. My bs numbers spiked. Could this be due to the bleeding wound?
