Ha ha thanks I knew I'd get there I'm not the type to give up just need a little advice to work out where I was going wrong and it was my lantus I've dropped it by 10 units because when my levels were high I thought it was that not holding it when it was my novorapid not being high enough so no...

Hia just a update on my progress. Well I have altered my lantus to 14 units per day and increased my bolus to 1.7 per 10 carbs and my morning levels are between 5-6 and staying steady 2 hours afterwards And before meals at 6-7 I have stopped taking them 30 mins earlier and take it as I eat as I...

Well I do agree I need to drop my lantus and will drop it again by 2 tomorrow and then I will have to look at my novorapid and maybe use a 2 to 10 carb ratio. I don't drink coffee with meals usually diet coke but I do drink coffee in between meals

God this had to be the most frustrating illness in the world lol I have already given my 19 lantus for tonight so I will test in the night again and in the morning and see what it throws at me this time lol

Yes that's what I said earlier do I infinite to reading 2 hours afterwards as it is normal before meals or increase and risk having a hypo before I eat

That's what is confusing me Sam it's not dropping it's going up around 6 -7 before meals then 9 - 10 two hours after and back to 6-7 two hours after that so back to normal before a meal

I'm not sure what the criteria is to ask for a pump also I know I do have pretty good control. I don't really know the benefits or differences of having a pump and also what argument I would put forward as to why I would need one

That's the thing I don't want to have to rely on snacks to get my levels right. My consultant said at the beginning he wasnt worried about the 9 and 10 two hours after food as they were back to normal before eating and he was worried I would just get more hypos by getting my levels lower two...

Hia so i have dropped my lantus to 19 my bm was 5.4 this morning I am still taking my rapid 30 mind before meals at a 1.5 to 10 carb ratio my levels have gone from 6 - 7 two hours after a meal to 9 - 10 two hours after but drop to 6 - 7 two hours after that and before my next meal. So do I...

Aww thank you very much for your support. I just want to get a grip of this and live my life rather than it controlling me. I was misdiagnosed as type 2 for 18 years after a gestational onset of diabetes mainly because I was over weight (16 stone) and labelled by a gp which in turn made me like...

Thanks I am reading that book to that's how I realised my basal was out. The guidelines for my weight is 14 units I understand it is different for everyone. I don't really eat before bed and don't want to rely on food I'd rather get my basal right when you say may need to adjust my novorapid...

Thanks I was thinking maybe dropping the lantus down one more unit might sort it out.

Morning update on my levels for you. 6.6 last night had 2 ryvita before bed. Woke up at 3 am an tested it was 7.2. This morning it was 5.4

Thanks very much for your support it is much better control than I have had apart from the 4's in the morning they are 6-7 durning the day hopefully I can get this sorted over the next few days

Yes that is before and 2 hours after I have eaten but I am taking my insulin 20 to 30 mins before eating as if I take it at the same time it is 10 and above 2 hours after

Thanks I will do a test thought the night and let you know during the day they are between 6 - 7 so pretty level. I will try the 19 units tonight and see if I can wake up higher than 4

Morning here are my levels for this morning. I took 19 units of lantus last night bm 6.9 no food since tea. Bm was 4.1 this morning. One weetabix and 3 units of novorapid 2 hours later bm 7.9 again after 30 min delay in eating after injecting.

It's ok Sam I agree totally with your calculation and will adjust it to 19. I increased it myself thinking the highs 2 hours after a meal was my lantus not being enough. So I now know its not. Just need some help on what to adjust my novorapid to if I need to now and I should be sorted

Thanks very much for ur help and experience it means a lot. I took my bm 2 hours after breakfast and it was 6.5 so the delay in giving my insulin and eating seems to be working for now. I will reduce my lantus to 19 tonight but will this make me have to increase my novorapid ratio I'm a bit...

Wow I have been a bit high with it haven't I. I will drop it to 19 tonight. Will this make my day time levels go up ? I am taking 1.5 units per 10grams already and don't really want to have to increase that
