Roberto said:Bit of a random reading today. Had breakfast, low carb as usual, scrambled eggs and a rasher of turkey bacon.
Usually take 2 units to cover this, although only a trace of carbs still raises the BG level. Yesterday was 4.1 pre lunch so decided to only take 1 unit as I had a meeting to attend with work. 2 hours after breakfast was 8 and then 11.1 before lunch?!?
I had nothing else apart from my breakfast all morning. It's these readings that frustrate me!
Do you use a half unit pen? I find that 1.5 units is often what I need (I eat similar carb amounts per meal)
In such low doses 0.5 unit makes a huge difference!
