When I last went to hospital for an appointment my HbA1c was at a good 7% according to my doctor although my results don't always reflect that because they can be all over the place. My next appointment is in 2 weeks time and so far looking at all my results they are above 10.0 at least 75% of the time. I do 13 units of lantus in the morning and have a carb ratio of 1:6 in the morning. At lunch time my carb ratio is 1:8. At tea time my carb ratio is at 1:10 and pre-bedtime I do 8 units of lantus. If I have to correct any highs I have a raio of 1:3 my doctor has tried changing that to 1:2 but it sends my sugars low. My sugars are all just a little bit crazy at the moment, in the morning I could be 8.0 but by lunch time it has significantly shot up to around the 20.0 mark. And by tea time it goes down to only around 14.0/15.0 my pre-bed result can vary from anything between 3.0-15.0
I test my sugars before eating and do my insulin 30 minutes before eating anything to give it time to get into my system. I was wondering if any of you wonderful Type 1 diabetic people could help me and give me advice on what I could do to try bring my levels down to a more normal level. Thanks!
