[QUOTE="KC49, post: 2470970, member: 543472"] ‘’I always had to be extra careful if I'd drank wine evening before used to drop basal by 2 units but now need to drop basal by 40% for most of the day.’’ That’s a big drop! I haven’t had a drink since I got my pod, but sure I’ll have one or two over Xmas. The problem with tresiba was you can’t make easy and quick adjustments for drinking more than you planned- I spent 3 hours asleep at less than 2.2mmol after drinking cocktails a few months ago, and the entire next day dropping too low. Beer is definitely a safer option, but hopefully with a pod I can occasionally have cocktails without risking death lol I hope you get the lunch time bread thing sussed, sandwiches are too good to live without! What about a follow up bolus like I would do for pizza, when I was using pens? Like I’d wait an hour after the first and then do another 2 or 3 units? Rather than an extended bolus drip feed? happy Xmas anyway, and happy eating! [/QUOTE]
