[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1766727, member: 17713"] Ok... sorry to hear you ate on a roller coaster at the moment.. Have you got an accuchek aviva expert for a meter? I personally have lots of stomach and colon issues and they an cause problems with bloods. Now, honestly, you need to really sit down and map out each days bloods, food, stress, and even bowel habits and meds. And the insulin taken. I had chronic stomach & bowel problems and also diagnosed with 1st lot of breast cancer... but it is hugely important that you spare time each day to record things off your meter and to see whether your food or insulin is taking a longer period to work but to also gain evidence to prove it. Also, for me, I dont do more corrections within a 4 hour period from first correction. When I was above 12, I always had to double my correction up. Are you adding more bolus to your first correction when you are heading upwards. How soon after you eat have you started to go high? I really would recommend basal testing for days when working and days when off, and starting back at basics again. Honestly believe me, I've had to start at basics with everything time and time again and I've been T1 for far too many decades! This is a copy of my logs that I used to do every day. It allowed me to see and compare etc especially during my first operation and radiotgerapy and when I was on horrendous painkillers. It kept me in control as my colon literally stopped working and was absolutely dire. I even had to weigh myself and record as this sheet shows it took ayear for put to put on 12lb as I was so limited on food. In the end it took me to ask for change of insulins and to sork out which insulin I could take as a background one. Still on novorapid though. Please see if you can take a short while each day tocare for yourself, it sounds as if you've got heaps of pressure and anxiety...but giving yourself time out each day to record[ATTACH=full]26341[/ATTACH] and assess your own health is vital.
