[QUOTE="Elaine p, post: 1908708, member: 476954"] I’m also on Humulin 1 and started off on 6 units x 2 a day. A went up 2 units every 3 days until I settled at 20 units x 2 a day. My BG was within guidelines before meals but rose to upto 12+ after. I have since reduced my carb intake and my BS stabilised at around 4 -7 after meals but I experienced some hypos during the night. Since then my insulin has been reduced to 14 units x 2 a day and this has been suiting me fine with levels about 6-7.5 after meals. However, today I have been out and about and have only injected once at 4pm as that was the first time I had the opportunity to eat and I had a halloumi and salad pita bread and two cappuccinos. I’ve just had a chicken salad at 9pm but didn’t inject for that meal as I wasn’t eating any carbs and I didn’t know if the insulin was still active from the 4pm dose. I’ll see when I test at 11pm. I’ve got some questions about insulin when I see the DN next week. [/QUOTE]
