[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1957673, member: 451727"] Hi Don, the principle of the novarapid is to address the carbs in what you are just about to eat, in this case, your breakfast. If for example you normally have 3 units for your breakfast (depending on your insulin to carb ratio), then if you don't take it you may go higher. Obviously it is quite complicated when you first start off and none of us would be able to say what you should do but the more experienced people are the more they will adjust as they go along. The 4.9 will have been achieved by the amount of Lantus (long acting) you took. Having said all that, if I am low in the morning (say around 4) I would take maybe one unit less of the novarapid to compensate. I know you are seeing your medical team so hopefully they can explain the principles as they apply specifically to your situation. Good luck with your tooth, I know for a fact a painful tooth is worse than childbirth! x [/QUOTE]
