Hi,
Just a couple of quick opinions wanted if anyone has any (everyone has them!):
- Is it bad to exceed 9mmol on a regular basis (i.e. a few times a week), assuming this carries on for a honeymoon period of 6-12 months or more?
- In terms of moving over to a bolus regime - DSN says eat more and check the outcomes, and from there, they will work out my 'ratios'. I feel like it has to be better to use small amounts of 'fast acting' first and then eat more carbs accordingly- Thoughts? I feel thanks to this site, educated enough to test, monitor and go from there, rather than having to go through the process of deliberately putting my BG up so the DSN can make adjustments accordingly.
To give a background, i was diagnosed 4 months ago and i'm on a honeymoon phase so 4 lantus is enough if i stick to 100-150g carbs a day. I fully appreciate this condition hasn't even really got going for me yet.
