[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1272482, member: 21149"] Hi. The important thing with diabetes is to take control and make you own decisions based on the input from the medics, this forum etc. If you only test before meals you will never know whether your Bolus injection was correct. Yes, don't stack insulin unless you are confident you need to do a correction and won't risk a hypo. Make sure your Basal injection level is at the right level and then adjust your Bolus ratio. From what you say I suspect one or both may need a tweak? Are you keeping the carbs down to minimise blood sugar swings? Two Weetabix is higher than some of us would have for breakfast, but it's your choice as long as you don't gain weight thru too many carbs. I'm surprised you weigh your food. There is nothing wrong with that but most times food packaging will guide you or as my nice DN said 'just eye-ball' it. [/QUOTE]
