[QUOTE="Nicklenocky, post: 223094, member: 37508"] Just as a follow on from yesterdays results, here are today's results with one hypo this evening (I live in Middle East so I am 2 hours ahead): After having porridge before I slept and reducing my lantus by 2 units: 6.01am- 4.7 (safe, went back to sleep) 7.41am- 3.9 TOOK 5 units of insulin about 30 mins later since I was a little low for approx 50gms of carbs (porridge and banana) 8.07- 6.4 11.15- 5.6 11.32- 5 (this is where i start panicking when i see my blood dropping so quickly) ate 1 apple, no insulin 11.56- 5.6 13.16- 8.8 took 6 units of insulin for 60gms (rice, chicken, salad) 15.33- 12 took 1 unit of corrective 16.11- 10.9 17.52- 6 18.22- 6 19.05- 5.5 19.35- 4.8 20.07- 4.3 took 7 units of insulin for 70gms of carbs (rice, lamb, black eyed beans in sauce, salad) 21.26- 7 21.54- 4.9 22.08- 3.6 HYPO- GUTTED and feel awful, had gatorade and porridge early as i am fed up and want to sleep Not quite sure why I have hypo-ed, I may have overestimated the carbs for black eyed beans as they were not in my GI book and so estimated after researching on google....but maybe it not this, super gutted! I do feel like its very hard work at the moment keeping my blood up, I am only just managing to stay above 5 an any lower then I know I will hypo, difficult to deal with the constant worry of hypo and even when I get a good 5 or 6 I cant relax for fear of dropping which they very obviously do. Hopefully better luck tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
