[QUOTE="etmsreec, post: 683450, member: 22426"] My DSN suggests that BG before meals is more important than 2 hours after. If I could get even close to achieving the NIHCE guidelines then I'd be over the moon! I've pretty sure that much of the variability in my BG results is down to insulin absorption. Having been T1 for 33 years and stupidly listened to all of the advice of being able to re-use needles and disposable syringes again and again, my injections sites vary from ok to lumpy to do not use. If you're anything like me, BarryM, it could be that you're dosing correctly and calculating correctly, but just not getting all of the insulin that you think you are. Different discussion that I've still not settled or come to a conclusion on is post-exercise peaks. After swimming for an hour, my BG might be pretty good after the swim but then go sky-high. If I correct that, I end up hypo overnight. There are no easy answers in the T1 game... [/QUOTE]
