[QUOTE="PD Oz, post: 2100343, member: 148226"] I just wonder what your exercise levels might be? While everyone is different perhaps you could try taking normal meals and using your last prescribed dose, take a brisk 30 minute walk after breakfast and evening meals, if possible. Also maybe try ramping up your short acting insulin with breakfast and lunch by a unit each and again if no visible improvement. I figure that a rule of thumb is a daily dose in units around half body weight in kilos. Eg weigh 80kg then 40 units per day. Then increase upwards. However, everyone can be significantly different, so what I have always learned is small gradual corrections and follow up with the specialist each visit. [/QUOTE]
