People telling me how to control my diabetes. My health. Isms. People walking their dogs off leads in illegal areas. Meat that bleeds. Late buses.
It can take a while for changes in blood sugar to appear. You should go back to your DSN and tell them your results. Background insulin changes like that rely on the rest of your routine being pretty stable to show results? If you have some carb free meals it will show if your background is working or not but from what you're saying at the moment it seems you need more of a plan with your team .
