ok that is fine...just keep testing and let us know.
i am going nowhere
 
Keep carbs low until you're under control.

Low carbs means there is less to spike your blood sugar
 
thanks @Emmotha - my thoughts exactly
 
@lcarter -- your conscience here time for a test
 
Personally I wld up ur basal 1 unit tonight..
 
I had problems over Christmas due to forgetting to replace my lantus and it always giving up after 22 days and not being to get my bs to conform properly. I looked at this morning's graphs and realised what the problem was. It has made a huge improvement to my stability. I've read all the posts, and you've said that your fridge temperature was fine and that the basal was okay, but for future reference, I think it would be worth changing both insulins the minute this starts to happen.

Hope you are on the road to recovery!

12.2!

Just spoke to a gp.
She was actually very good. She said everything I (we!) Are doing is perfect. She thinks I am insulim resistant and in need of a new regime. She has advised me to continue taking more insulin as I am and call my consultant to request a different regime on Monday as it seems I have outgrown this one.

She thinks my loo trips are incidental.

Phew.
 
Have replaced my lantus now. Thank you for taking the time to help.
 

Excellent news, so glad you spoke to a professional about it

All the best and would you let us know how you get on on Monday please ?


Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend RRB

The doctor said all the increasing and changing ratios is not going to help much if I am calling Monday and all I should do is the lots of QA. It was only increased last night. Thanks though.

Oh I will be with you all till Monday and beyond.
 
Levels pre tea were 13.2.

Tea was pork steaks, chorizo, bacon, garlic, onions, salad, potato salad and coleslaw. Carbs in this was 20g. Then I had fat free yoghurt and 60g weight of raspberries for pudding roughly 6g of carbs. So 2:10g ratio means 5.2 units rounded up to 5.5. Corrected at ratio 1:1 aiming for 10 again took 3 units. Will retest in an hour
 
Levels one hour after pre tea check: 14.8
 
Looking much better
You must be due a two hour check soon ...
Glad you spoke to a GP
