[QUOTE="dani96xx, post: 2322064, member: 265389"] No problem [emoji4] Her background insulin seems to be correct then so can rule that out. Does she have any snacks after lunch and injects separately, if so how are her blood sugars when doing this? If her bloods are okay when doing this it may mean the carb counting is slightly out or the ratios may need adjusting. I know most diabetics can use the same rarios for each meals whereas others like myself are sensitive! I inject 1:5 for breakfast, 1:8 for lunch and 1:6 for dinner. If I was to inject my bfast ratio for lunch my blood will plummet like anything. The only other problem too is that she will still be in the honeymoon phase. I vaguely remember having this issue. Unfortunately it isn't consistent, some days I would need barely any insulin and some days i would have to go back to normal ratios. I agree the fat content could be slowing down the absorption of the carbohydrates. I also find this happens when I eat pizza McDonald's Chinese (any takeaway really) when eating fatty foods like this i'll always inject after eating. However if my blood sugar is running high I will inject directly before to avoid going any higher before coming back down. The first year is the most difficult and it is a case of trial and error and perseverance, try not to be too hard on yourself, easier said than done i know. As long as you're avoiding night time hypos which it looks like you are and avoiding massive highs you will be okay. Best of luck and feel free to ask any other questions [emoji4] [/QUOTE]
