[QUOTE="CranberryIce, post: 1764103, member: 472213"] Yes.. finally some relief :D So since moving my basal dose time, pre- injecting before meals and ditching the cereal I have mainly been in range for most of the time. I still have a rise of about 2mmol after my meals- which is better than it being twice as much, as it was before. Is 2mmol the kind of rise I should be seeing? I am finding by 4.30pm I am dropping again (lunchtime basal given about 12pm). yesterday I was below 5 at that time and had to drive so ate something to bring me up- which I then had to correct for later on as it sent my bg to 9.3. The same happened today at about 4.30pm, I was below 5 and 'felt' hypo so had a small snack. I dont know if it would have come up by itself or if I was continuing to drop (libre said steady)- maybe next time i'l watch it and see what happens. I think part of it is I am so used to seeing readings between 7-9 that 5 'feels' low. Yesterday I went to bed on 6 and had a hypo at 2am so I should be decreasing by basal today? Is there a way of calculating how much to decrease it by? Or do I do 1 unit see how it settles? [/QUOTE]
