[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2108743, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=160151]@busydiabeticmum[/USER] Sounds really frustrating, however the advice given from your team doesn't sound very good at all, raise the insulin and add carbs ? No that doesn't make sense at all. Insulin does not raise your BG levels however, things like bad insulin, bad injection sites, hormones, stress etc will. Firstly I would change your insulin in case your current pen has gone off. As a GD mum and now as a type 1, I can eat the same breakfast every day and get different results, that's the magic of managing fluctuating blood glucose levels and combining that with things like heat, exercise, hormones, stress and many other factors which will affect your control, it's like working with a constantly moving target and hoping to achieve the same result, it's very hard. It sounds like you are doing well in reducing your carbs, however patterns in your control are important so look for where you see a repeated pattern of events over a few days before making changes with insulin doses and then wait 3-4 days before any more adjustments.
