It just sounds to me as if your basal is out, so you need to basal test and adjust basal to stop the highs.Hi. Yesterday had big.low early am, didn't need hypostop, when I got up my BM was 6.2, breakfast was 1 slice Burgen bread & peanut butter, gave correct bolus, mid morning had peanut 9 bar, hour later did a BM - 27 (big rebound from the low) when I left work just came home & crashed out for an hour! Numbers came down mid afternoon, had 4 slices cold beef for tea & that was it, 8pm BM - 6.
Woke up this morning BM- 11.3, bolused 1.5 units & went & walked dogs & swept the whole yard when I came in BM- 5, had same breakfast as yesterday. We had to go into town to get a few bits, about 11.30 am went.to Costas & had small 1 shot soya mocha. We were having lunch out, about 1pm did a BM just before we were going to have lunch- 27 (can't belive it was this high?!) Obviously Costa is a no no for coffee for me?! Changed set & bolused 7 units to cover lunch, had a ham.salad with 1 bit of bread. Got home at 3 did housework, BM- 15
Just done a BM now - 8 so is coming down (relief)
Am seriously thinking to low carb properly
Yes, tried her today & Tuesday, left her a message, no reply & tries another nurse too whose number I have if o can't get hold of my main DSN, no reply there.
Numbers back to normal now,5.
So how many carbs did you bolus for? Another point you didn't have the coffee on your office day so I still think you have a basal issue.Yes I did, seems strange that that would push my numbers so high. I know it sounds daft but always look forward to a coffee when we're out as that's a treat kind of thing for me if you see what I mean
Had a day off today, pretty busy for couple hours this am - housework,sweeping up yard outside, had had breakfast (burgen bread-1 slice & peanut butter) did am bm an hour after all this & was 6.2. Went shopping & called into Costa to get a medium soya mocha, gave 2 units for this. Walked round town a bit after, did a bm 1 hour later - 25.7 what the heck? Went to give a bolus & pressed changed cartridge instead of bolus! So knackered til I got home an hour later, as soon as I came home injected 5 units, took dogs out, put new cannula in, have had omelette for lunch
Just struggling to get diabetes right lately, feeling rubbish & tetchy.
Sorry, this seems to be the only place I get a response. Tried DSN again today & no answer, haven't bothered leaving a message, as did a couple days ago & haven't heard anything
Tested before bed - 5.7, got up at 12.30am - 5.7, got up this morning 7am - 14.9
Really don't think I hypod on the night. Today would have been ideal to do basal rate testing as mot lambing
Jess,Yes having a drink out is about once a week, always have it with soya milk, may just not bother anymore I think.
My basal obviously needs looking at & sorting out.
8.45 this am bm- 11.5. Just done a bm now - 4.9 will have breakfast shortly.
Sights can be a bit of a problem,if I'm in any doubt I will change it. Really want to get this right as really starting to get frustrated with it & feeling rubbish with it being up & down so much
