Ok, I'll try that. Thanks
Ok, I'll try that. ThanksIf you are going to do corrections after 2 hrs for 10+, which is understandable, then try injecting only three quarters of what the wizard suggests? Just until you get a better handle on it?
It's always better to err on the side of injecting too little insulin rather than too much, at least while you are feeling your way forward.
In the long term it's probably going to help if both you and your husband can cut down on the sweetened foods and high carb foods, particularly processed ones. It just makes it easier to keep your BG stable if you are not constantly fighting spikes.Wow, actually typing out what I eat makes me realise how unhealthy I eat lol
Very sorry to hear that. I know it can be really tough, and also can make you worried about the next pregnancy. It's good you are being careful Janelle but I don't think you need to worry. You can handle it and I think you are going to be fine.I never made it to an appointment though because I miscarried very early on.
I tried a low carb diet for about a month and had awesome results. Unfortunately I found it hard to stick to. I've been trying to limit my meals to max 60g carb which I think has helped reduce the spikes somewhat.In the long term it's probably going to help if both you and your husband can cut down on the sweetened foods and high carb foods, particularly processed ones.

It definitely contributes to the worry/guilt whenever I see a high readingVery sorry to hear that. I know it can be really tough, and also can make you worried about the next pregnancy.

I am very thankful to you and DD for all of the help/advice/supportDon't worry. We will sort you out.
I'm off now, good luck for today /tonight. xxx
I'm beginning to think it could be something to do with the weather. We are coming into winter here and for the past month or so its usually been about 15C. The past 2 days though were unusually warm for this time of year at about 27C. Today is only meant to get to 19 so it will be interesting to see if my insulin requirements go back to normal.Dont despair Janielle...?..the gremlins are at it. I too started bg dropping late yesterday aftnernoon for reason unknown and ended up fairly low needing to correct by some jellybabies and also some carb just to get bg up to 6mmol
Today is not much better so will probably do some basal testing tomorrow to see whats happening.
Based on last night my carb ratio is way too high. Maybe it has been slightly too high in the past but the past two nights have been terrible. I wonder if its a combination of the basal rate and the carb ratio. Just before bed I decided to put on a temporary basal rate of -10% because at that point I was just done with having to treat hypos. As you can see though, reducing my basal rate did nothing to stop the hypos. Still so lost as to way this has only been an issue the past 2 days.
7:04pm = 4.4 = 60g - 6 units
7:48pm = 7.0
8:33pm = 7.9
9:24pm = 4.7
9:37pm = 4.7
9:53pm = 4.1 = 10g
10:14pm = 3.1 = 10g
1:10am = 3.3 = 10g
3:07am = 3.3 = 10g
5:46am = 5.4
6:29am = 5.0
7:18am = 5.7
I am VERY relieved that I am yet to have a hypo today (but it is only 8am lol)
BTW I'm still running the temporary -10% basal rate
This is all of my basal rates:Ok...first off to me your basals at 5 and 6pm are too low and your carb ratio is giving too much insulin.
I would be making adjustments first.
Just going to track back over your other figures.
