[QUOTE="ert, post: 2198318, member: 504712"] Welcome and I'm really sorry you're having a tough time. Please phone your diabetic nurse every day this week and continue to talk through these issues until you get to the bottom of them. With your hypo issues, you should qualify for funding for a Freestyle Libre (if you're in the UK), which you can alarm with a Miao Miao. I couldn't cope without one. Unlike the body's own insulin, injecting fast acting insulin works over a four hour window. If your carbohydrate ratio is correct, when you test your blood sugars before a meal, it should rise and not return to the same level until four hours later. Don't worry about the upwards curve. I sometimes split the dose if my food has a higher fat content, to stop my blood sugars from falling initially. I always cut back my background insulin if I've had a hypo. I wish you all the best for your finals and I hope your diabetic nurse and doctor find a way forward. I also recommend 'talking space plus'. [/QUOTE]
