[QUOTE="poemagraphic, post: 2038575, member: 503830"] Thanks that's helpful. So you went up from 4.1 to 8.7 overnight. I am thinking more and more that I will just disregard that piece of advice and 'if' I am below 8 (which I would hope to be) I will not eat anything. I almost always have to get up to wee so I can always take my levels and see where its going... either up or down and take it from there. The advice from the diabetic nurse seemed to be saying the insulin will put the brakes on and the biscuits will hit the accelerator... (My words NOT hers lol) She also said I should be aiming for 70 g of carbs a meal (or words to that effect) I think I have got selective deafness ;) I have already dropped my evening dose of insulin from 10 units to 8 in the first three weeks as I kept hitting readings below 4 daily. As I drive for a living that really is NOT good news! Po [/QUOTE]
