[QUOTE="wsmum, post: 199267, member: 33079"] @ Spearmint: interesting about the huge difference in doses before and after food poisoning! I wonder why that is? I also wonder about the balance between bolus and basal. I was under the impression that somewhere around 50:50 was the usual balance (give or take), so for instance you might have 15 units of basal in total, and 5 units of bolus with each meal. In our case, my son has 4 units basal and 1-2 bolus with each meal, depending on how many carbs he eats. 20 units of Levemir against 11 novorapid sounds a bit odd so I would ask about that - they may have their reasons but it would be good to know what they are! @shellyk: I've read on this forum that many women find their cycles really play havoc with blood sugar ... I'm 40 something and going through perimenopause, and not diabetic so hardly a comparison :-D but I do feel quite shaky at certain times of the month, and my GP said it was low blood sugar! So maybe there will be different rules for different days ... groan .... [/QUOTE]
