[QUOTE="Tinkerbelly, post: 16002, member: 6179"] Hello again On reading your message, I notice that you are injecting the same amount of Novorapid for each main meal. Are you also eating the same amount of carb for these meals? If so, you could try either reducing the amount of carbs or increasing the Novo a bit, like 50 units for BR and then increasing the lunch bolus according to how much carb you want to eat and what your bg levels are. The same can be done for your evening meal. As long as you can get your bg levels to be somewhere between 4-5 before you eat and then 2.5hrs later be no higher than 9, then you will found your way of balancing yourself out. Its all trial and error really. There are so many different insulins available. All of them affect bg levels in different ways. Also, try varying the quantity of carb that you eat, that will help as well. For good control its not about eating 3 healthy meals per day, all diabetics using insulin should think about eating carb in varying quantities between 4-6 times a day according to what their blood sugar levels reveal. Hope this helps you :) [/QUOTE]
