[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 789762, member: 13582"] Hi Trixy, congratulations on your progress. I hope you are encouraged; you are doing great. One thing that you could immediately work out from those results is how carbs effect your blood sugars. If you use your hypo and jelly baby event in the morning you should be able to do that. Work out what the carbs were for the jelly babies and then look at the change in blood sugars; X carbs raised your blood sugars by 3.8. (5.7 - 1.9). You can then use that to correct lows or hypos without over correcting and running high. Also keep in mind that Novorapid takes about 4 hours to be out of your system. When you went to bed the night before the hypo you don't know what your blood sugars were doing; but it seems likely that they were decreasing and kept decreasing over night. I find my evening ratio is different to my morning ratio; so I need less insulin at night than I do in the day. In no time you'll be advising people on here how to do all this!
