Hello Everyone. So glad to find this forum. I am Type II just gone onto Insulin once a day. I monitor my bs very regularly and recently every 2-4hrs to try to get the day right. Today is a typical day and has gone like this:-
Night reading = 03.27hrs 9.0 mmol
Tabs and Insulin @ 05.00hrs
Before breakfast reading = 07.48hrs 9.2 mmol
Breakfast = Porridge @ 08.30hrs
2hrs later reading = 10.44hrs 12.2 mmol
3hrs later reading = 12.50hrs 7.3 mmol
Lunch = 1 x Salami Sandwich @ 13.00hrs
After lunch reading = 16.00hrs 7.0 mmol
Before walking dog = 17.10hrs 4.8 mmol
1 x Apple 1 x Satsuma @ 17.15hrs
Walking the Dog @ 17.20hrs [1hr]
After Walking Dog = 18.15hrs 5.5 mmol
Dinner = Egg Salad & Salami Yogurt @ 18.30hrs
After dinner reading = 21.30hrs 7.6 mmol
Before supper reading = I expect 7mmol
Supper = None
Night reading = Usually between 9 and 11mmol
I just wondered if in conjuction with the DN we increased my daily Levemir to 18mmol [14 at the moment] the afternoon bs will be even lower. Should I really be on the daily regime or should I take a medium acting twice a day. I am my diabetic nurses first patient and she is still training.
I am so grateful for any help or advice offered and hope to contribute a lot to the forum in the future.
Regards John
