[QUOTE="rolandxkey, post: 2401607, member: 542271"] Hi Jdi, again. I didn't say, but my digestion is also still "work in progress". The uncertainty about how much malabsorption is occurring makes accurate carb counting a bit of a lottery, never mind what ratios to use at what times of day or what correction factors apply. [Or what the weather is doing, or any other uncertainty factor might apply]. I have just had my first phone consult with a gastroenteritis consultant which I found reassuring and informative; he seemed to fully understand my dilemma and has grasped the nettle, so to speak, to help me get things more stable. I had to push for this, but had a background of Ulcerative Colitis which might have been reactivated by the surgery. I've recently had my basal changed from Levermir 2x daily to Degludec once daily. Interestingly, from 2x8 standard units of Levermir to, currently, only 12 standard units of Degludec. This at present seems to be working. For bosul I'm on Novorapid, 2 or 3 times daily - depending on whether I eat lunch. If I take small snacks and keep active then I don't need the lunch bosul. Thanks to the Libre 2 I take BG readings up to 30+ times daily, particularly on days when I'm yo-yoing from hypo to hyper and back. I was finger pricking 9-10 times daily, now perhaps 10 times in a week. Libre 2 has trend arrows showing up or down - but these aren't completely reliable. Libre claims its interstitial BG readings lag meter readings by approx 2.5 mins, so sometimes I need to find out where my BG is really going. Hope some of this helps. [/QUOTE]
