[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 105605, member: 12578"] I think that both basal and bolus are out. :wink: breakfast 2 slices of bread, 30g carb you took 6 units 1unit for every 5g carb at 3hours your level was fine but by lunchtime when the bolus would have run out your level had risen. For lunch you ate 2 slices of bread 30g crisps say 15g (possibly more) biscuits 40g 85 g carbs: 7units, just 1more than for breakfast. 1 unit for every 12 grams of carbs. (Like Piskie I would need more insulin, but take it carefully if you decide to make any adjustments ) A basal test would be a good idea to do first, it's difficult to get mealtime ratios sorted if the basal isn't right.
