[QUOTE="liklejojo, post: 192878, member: 29829"] Hi alaska, It's a wierd one really, my portion sizes are pretty much the same all the time and when I work it all out the total to bolus is 8 units, however if I do 8 units over say 30mins -1hr I will go hypo about 2 hours later, so I started reducing it sometimes doing 5.5, 6 even 7 and sometimes its right, most times I go high with sugars up to 18, once they were 23. I'm beginning to wonder if I have a mixed ratio problem as I tend to halve my breakfast as a 10g carb = 0.5 units My sugars pre meal would typically be about 6-9 (I know this may be high for some of you but I've had some bad hypos in the last 2 months so i'm deliberately running higher so I can sort myself out). Do you mean that if you have a lot of protein with carbs it cancels it out so you just bolus for the mash? I'll try and do the test 2 and 4 hours after like you say and see what happens. Thanks, Jo [/QUOTE]
