[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1365248, member: 17713"] Some blood testing machines you can see in the dark.... No need to get up, just turn the machine on and test.. You need a 1/2 unit pen. Get these from your DSN. Goodness knows why they still give out 1 unit pens. People on smaller doses need smaller increments of insulin and 1/2 unit changes are needed. Also does your meter work out your doses in 1/2 units or full units? The aviva expert does it in 1/2 units, not sure what meter you have. Your DSN isn't wanting you to go low over night, so she is being careful. Perhaps do like suggested with less than a full Apple.... .? I've tested and tested at night without switching on lights, it is possible. Or see if your DSN can give you a freestyle Libre for a try for a fortnight... [/QUOTE]
