[QUOTE="snapper84, post: 238140, member: 39736"] [b]Update[/b] Christmas/New Year is now over and generally my levels have been okay. I have been having a few more hypo's than normal but I think this is because the balance of the insulin i'm taking combined with my pancreas still producing not being right for what i'm eating. I have been told to use a 20:1 ratio but obviously whilst in the honeymoon period i feel it is just a guessing game. I do drive and i check everytime before i drive. I have had a few where it has been below the 5.5 figure and had to correct it and wait. It is a bit of a pain with work but i guess once i get full control of it my levels will be much more stable. I have had a horrible chest infection for the past few weeks also so i guess this also may be contributing to some random levels, past few days they have ranged 2.9 - 16 but generally they have been between the 5-10 levels. I have also starting taking my novorapid after meals because i was finding it was kicking in before my meals were having chance to digest causing hypo's. I see the Consulstant for the first time soon i was wondering what i could expect with the initial consultation? Happy New Year to you All. Thanks [/QUOTE]
