[QUOTE="thewestiesmum, post: 2486200, member: 546898"] Firstly apologies [USER=552102]@Sarahlouxoxo[/USER] for gate crashing your thread. I hope you don't mind. [USER=527103]@In Response[/USER] I know that if your blood sugars are low before a meal, you must treat the hypo before eating then when you've recovered from the low, take your insulin for the food/meal you're about to eat. What I didn't know is that if you're not hypo but have levels lower than your target, you need to reduce your bolus. For me my target target is 6mmol - 10mmol so I should reduce my bolus if my levels are in the 5s or 4s but how many units would you reduce your bolus by? Also when you've recovered from a hypo but are still lower than your target would you still reduce your bolus? [/QUOTE]
