[QUOTE="T1Dad, post: 1395212, member: 338326"] Nice write up [USER=373519]@justadad[/USER]. I did read it all! Echo the comments on food and diet above. My daughter has around 150g - 180g carbs per day..sometimes more. Last weeks HBA1c was 42 (down from 48, 3 months back) so its working out ok. Sure there are huge spikes at times but it all comes back down and the night time is where we make our 'gains'. Make good use of the pre-Bolus by injecting a little while before meals. We often use a 'Juice-Bolus' where we inject and follow it up with a small juice or yoghurt to keep levels good for a while....then eat when Insulin is most potent. You need a CGM or similar to make use of that. [/QUOTE]
