[QUOTE="Catsymoo, post: 1776279, member: 45466"] Right, I saw my DSN again yesterday. Didn't really tell me anything useful other than looking at my graphs she thinks it's the bolus not the basal. Got given slow release Metformin which after 2 hours made my reflux come back and I was up most the night sweating and feeling really ill so I won't be taking that again. I woke up this morning at 9mmol which is weird because I had a dinner with under 10g carbs and was only at 12 2 hours after eating. I WEIGHED bran flakes this morning on a flipping scale, something I've NEVER had to do. 19g of carbs per 30g. I had about 20-25g.. 6 units. 2 hours later I'm sitting at 17mmol. I'm getting REALLY frustrated at this. I've lost about 7kg with no effort in the last few months, why am I resistant to my meal time insulin? Small doses don't seem to shift my blood sugar in the slightest, and if I take too much it drops too quickly and makes me feel sick. I'm really at a loss here as to why I suddenly need so much bolus. 1 unit per 3g is ridiculous. I can't even low carb because it makes me feel really unwell. I feel so weak and faint all the time where I'm afraid to eat because of my blood sugar being so unpredictable... [/QUOTE]
