[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 659706, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes, it can be difficult maintaining BS when you are sick. With the mixed insulin you are on it makes it a bit more difficult as you have to eat the right amount of carbs otherwise hypos can result as you know. Most T1s will be on the Basal/Bolus insulin regime so do ask your nurse to move you over; I'm a little surprised you didn't start on that but may be she wanted to get you used to the simpler mixed first. Basal/Bolus can involve from 3 to 5 injections (1 or 2 Basal and 2 to 3 Bolus at meals) but gives the ability to adjust insulin for each meal by carb counting. [/QUOTE]
