Have been trying to make sure 4 hours between all meals to let novo out my system and check. Yesterday a bit unfathomable - rose and then dropped all through the day - after skipping breakfast to check day time basal.  I mean, it went from 6.8  to 8.2 to 5.1 to 7.8 NOT your typical levemir pattern so I am STUMPEDMy ratios are out too though I bet DNS says they are fine. I always thought it would work on the basis that your bg should come back to what it was when you injected/before you ate so your rise is just at one hour, starts dropping and then returns to what it was. Im finding Novo drops it to its lowest after about 2 or so hours and then it doesnt move much after that. Not sure if basal needs adjusted, but likely ratios I think. Its horrible seeing higher numbers after a year of as good control as I can (and 3 x 5% A1c's) but im working on the basis that with premix we didnt always check after eating (unless feeling funny) and the one and two hour readings are probably similar to when on premix. I think its probably we just expected so much more from taking a bolus short acting - but of course, it is still early days and we will get there. ITs just that its not quick enough for us!Still if anyone has any ideas why the no food = wavy bg readings I would be most intrigued to find out!. I was told not to test too much (aye, right) and Im sure when I hit DSN with my squillions of readings, I'll get a bit of a frown. Still, Its my pancreas, and I'll cry if I want to!</blockquote>
