[QUOTE="Deekh1965, post: 191607, member: 33959"] Hi Snodger Thanks for your reply. You got it right, I am confused why I still seem to need insulin when eating no carbs and unsure about the BI. When I was put on the BI at diagnosis 17 yrs ago was just told it was long acting, no explanation of what it done, how it worked and now after dafne I have a lot better idea of it's function. Usually every morning I am high. Despite taking no carbs I would still inject some QA because of my expeiences with going high in the past. However I had my BI at 11:30pm of which I raised it 2 units to 20 and for my supper I took no QA. I was 7.6 at bed and woke up expecting it to be sky high and to my delight and surprise it was 9.7, which is good for me. All these years BS high in the morning and being told to just increase my long acting, but never asked or told about the QA, or carb counting. I hadn't a clue about CPs etc. I'll get there eventually. best regards Derek [/QUOTE]
