[QUOTE="Trixy83, post: 789040, member: 162941"] So for anyone following here's another quick update on the last day. So as mentioned yesterday lunchtime I was 5.1 pre lunch, spiked to 11.6 2 hours later and 4 hours later was back to 5.8 (this takes me to 16.30). Pre dinner at 19.07 I was 4.2, so starting to get quite low, but this was late for me, I don't usually go from lunch at 12 until after 7 for dinner. Dinner was rice with sauce and turkey pieces (because I was late it was quite and easy), worked this out to be 88g carbs so had 8 units of novorapid. Checked sugar at 21.20, just over 2 hours later and I was 7.3, so happy with that. Checked again at 21.43 pre bed and was sitting at 6.6. At this point I took my usual dose of 14 units levemir. I woke at 6.15 feeling sweaty and cold so checked my blood and was sitting at 1.9! I had some jelly babies. Checked again at 7 at was back up to 5.7. This is my usual get up time so had my levemir (14 units) and breakfast, 30g carbs but I only took 2 units of novorapid as I thought I was quite low and didn't want to take 3, 2 hours later back up to 6.9. The rest of the day continued pretty well, 7.8 before lunch, 8.1 2 hours later, 8.2 before dinner and 2 hours later dropped to 3.7 (8.00pm). So! I'm not quite sure what this says, my thoughts are that Now I've cut out my after dinner snack I might need to look at reducing my night time levemir down from 14, I'm going to try 12 tonight and see how I am in the morning. Theres also been quite a drop from my dinner time, dinner was , 39[SIZE=3].6g carbs, as I was sitting at 8.2 I took 5 units, I'm thinking I could probably have got away with 4. This is my day off work though and I have been on the go since 7am this morning so more active than I am on a usual working day I know it's no where near perfect and I still have a bit of work to do but I'm only 4 day into proper monitoring so it's definite progress from where I was 2 weeks ago. I just need to watch out for the drops and factor in my activity level. I'm recording everything though so will look out for patterns. Apologies for rambling a bit, it helps to get things clear in my own head if I write it all down. As always if anyone has any thoughts or tips I'd be happy to hear :-)[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
