[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1627731, member: 30007"] Hi [USER=416946]@Fatima_94[/USER] - thanks for your answers. When your basal insulin starts to go out of kilter, it's usually a good idea to have a go at redressing this. The best way to do it is via basal test, as described here: [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] This really does help to get everything back on track. If your GP/Clinic is not helpful in getting you on a DAFNE course, keep at it. They are supposed to support you in doing that. In the meantime (and if someone fobs you off, remind them that an offer of structured education is part of the NICE guideline for Type 1 Diabetes), take a look at [URL]http://www.bertieonline.org.uk[/URL] which gives you very similar information as a web course. It should walk you through everything you need to know. This relates to all sorts of things. The biggest one being that if your basal gets out of line, then all the ratios you used to use tend to go out of the window and while you don't realise it, you're compensating for one insulin with the other type. That's why the earlier testing and course I mentioned should help you. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
