I test at breakfast usual reading around 6.5ish, I take 45units Insuman Basel and 10 units of NovaRapid. Next test Lunch, readings between 5-7ish I take 10 units of NovaRapid, Teatime readings around 7-9ish NovaRapid 15 units, Suppertime readings up to 12.7 depending what I've had to eat in the evening watching telly. I take 65 units Insuman Basel and 24 units of NovaRapid. Metformin 2x500mg 3 times a day. My hba1c is 54. My consultant is more than happy the way I control my diabetes. You must do what 'IS RIGHT FOR YOU' if you want to test 20 times a day that my friend is up to you and you alone. For your peace of mind test when ever you feel the need. I don't have that luxury I have to test a minimum of 4 times a day. Take Care my friend. Regards, Richard [/QUOTE]
