[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2083086, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=100005]@HarrogateDave[/USER] We can't give dosing advice here, your team need to help with this, we are unique so my correction ratios would be different to others and could be considered dangerous advice. Also active insulin on board time varies between us all and can vary between 2.5 to 4 hours. I prefer to take my insulin about 20 mins before food so it's starting to work when my BG levels start spiking, I wouldn't take a correction dose within 3 hours, others would wait 4 hours, Keeping a diary to track and monitor levels helps in seeing exactly what is going on, as does doing some basal fasting tests to check basal insulin is set at the correct dose. Running 3-4 is low, that's hypo territory, agree this needs to be raised, particularly if your wife drives as the min limit for driving is 5 mmol/l, and running low levels can also affect hypo awareness too which again can result in losing your driving licence. Get a copy of 'Think like a pancreas' which is written by a type 1 and a very useful, informative read to understand the role of insulin more. [/QUOTE]
