[QUOTE="DunePlodder, post: 1071572, member: 25119"] Take a look at [URL]http://www.diabetes-book.com/laws-small-numbers/[/URL] Dr Bernstein is an advocate of low carbing. I'm too fond of my food to do this fully, but I have tried it for odd days & have no doubt that what he says make sense. Your Dexcom is great for doing experiments. I know it's difficult for you right now but if your bg level is steady try something like eating a jelly baby (5gm?), don't take any insulin or do any exercise & watch the graph. Note how long it takes to change & how much it goes up by. You can try a similar experiment if say you are a bit high, but steady, and give yourself 1 or 2 units of your fast acting insulin & note the results. I find it takes a surprisingly long time before it has any effect, even allowing for the Dexcom's lag. It helps to know how your body reacts to these things when you are sorting out problems.
