[QUOTE="Deleted member 45091, post: 2518727"] Hi all again, injection sites are ok I think, do the injections in bum, stomach legs, rotate as much as I can, Iam carb counting etc, the diabetic woman at the hospital thinks the drops etc I take for eye etc I've steroids etc may have some impact along the way, iam unsure about ratios etc, all I know for myself is in the morning and evening iam less sensitive than in the middle of the afternoon. But as before my sugars was around 18 I had a sandwich etc so around 35 grams of carbs and decided to have just 3 units of rapid and it brought it down, but this doesn't happen everyday sometimes it doesn't bring it down. In the evening I can have a few units at night and it not really touch it through the night. But agree treating as if I am having an hypo when it's not isn't. Helping so need to stop that, think over panic as live on my own, and right eye seems on way out vison rubbish and seeing flashes etc sending me dizzy etc and think don't want a bad hypo on top so treat it way to early which needs to stop.
