[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1772743, member: 17713"] Lol, sorry!! If you are constantly feeling light headed etc.. I would be asking for a full run down of blood.. whole blood counts, ferritin, b12, d3 as you coukd be blaming diabetes when something else is the cause.. low iron can cause problems with T1 and T2 people. With 33 units of background it doesnt look like the ratios of your bolus's are matching the 50/50 ratio... and it may just be that the bolus ratio for meals could be upped to give a little more.. so if on a 1 unit to 10g (only an example) then a small adjustment to 1 to 9g may be better and it doesnt have to be the same for each meal.. Same with corrections if at the moment its 1 unit beings you down by 3mml then perhaps at the moment you are needing more and it should be 1 unit only brings you down by 2.9 to give you more correction.. only made up details... Dont forget our hormones kick in / out and insulin is after all a hormone.. so it can kick in same ways! Incidentally are your pens in cool places, out of sunshine? Is your fride definitely the right temperature and changing needles every time? Perhaps ask for new pens as well. Cover every angle... [/QUOTE]
