[QUOTE="KarenAdamson, post: 1409586, member: 196746"] Forgot to say - If you adjust your fast acting insulin ratio then drop it slightly for three days to see if you have less hypos. Also remember that if you have one hypo then you often have another one a few hours later so eat a bit more than normal. This is because on your first hypo your liver dumps Glucogen into your blood and later that day it will use some of the carbs you eat to replace the Glucogen in your liver. Just remember that everyone is different with how much insulin they need and that at various times of the day you may need more or less insulin. For me I have 1u Novorapid for 5 carbs in the morning but in the afternoon and evening it is 1u for 7 carbs. It's something that your DSN can help you work out. If you are having constant hypos then either your basal insulin is too high and/or your Basal Novorapid ratios are wrong. [/QUOTE]
