Oh there was another quick question I have too if you don't mind anyone that uses MDI, whenever you have had to adjust your basal has you insulin to carb ratio changed? x
I dont spike greatly as I do pre bolus,
I wish I ate supper but I don't eat from 4:30pm till after 7 the next day, also the I:C ratio hasn't needed to be adjusted yet xagain for supper.

I have my tea (or dinner whatever you want to call it lol) at 4:30pm and have never eaten after then since diagnosed well apart from when I've gotten home late from an appointment, I don't want to risk stacking or go to bed with active insulinWhy don't you eat supper?

Nobody will eat tea later than 4:30pm so i'm stuck unfortunatelyI agree about not eating too late, but I eat 6/6.30om and that works ok
Presumably you do eat if your BS is low before you go to bed?
That's the meter I have and I find it useless at giving advice tbh x@kaylz91 the Accu-Chek Aviva Expert Meter can be set up to calculate how much insulin you have on board, as long as you are putting in your carbs and doses. It's obviously not perfectly accurate, but it might give you a little bit more confidence to eat later in the evening. When it suggests a bolus, based on the amount of carb you are going to eat, it subtracts from that insulin on board. Might be worth having a chat with your DSN/consultant about.
Sending you hugs xx

He helped me set it up back in December when I got it but I've changed it since then say at dinner I know 2.5 units keeps me steady for 26g carbs but say if I'm 6.5 and I enter 26g it suggests a 3 unit bolus xDid your DSN help you set-up the meter?
With you being newly diagnosed and no doubt I:C ratio's changing frequently have you updated the Expert meter, the meter will only give the correct advice on bolus doses if the data imputed is correct.
