[QUOTE="AndyWatt, post: 537725, member: 92163"] Hi, I'm testing my BG about 7-9 times a day, I'm sorry , but I should have said at the start that most of my troubles are at my work, I work in a brewery and do 12 hour continental shifts. So much manual , physical work . After I completed the DAFNE course, they changed me from Humalog to Novo Rapid and from Lantus to Levemir. Because I work from 7 till 7 , dayshift or nightshift, I take my Levemirgat 6.30 am + pm, I take 10units am+pm but I'm working I knock 2units off. My Novo Rapid, I'm on a 1:1 ratio and because my work is so physical , I started knocking 1 unit off each injection, I was still going hypo so kept knocking more off , to the point that I had halved my insulin at work but then my BG's were sky high and I was doing the same work, sometimes maybe more. I know my carb counting is correct as its all microwave meals and packets with labels but just can't get it sorted at work.
