Hi guys - as you probably are aware (if you have read previous threads) that I have been having a lot of issues running high especially 2 hours post meal. Thought I would dramatically reduce my carbs for my tea to see how it goes. A bit of info.. My insulin carb ratio at tea is approx. 1:9 and my BS usually raises by .28 mmol per 1g of carb and 1 unit of insulin seems to lower my BS by 4.5 mmol. My BS reading prior to my meal was 7.8 mmol I had rump steak and salad (with a little vinigarette) and estimated my carb intake as approx. 5g so injected 1 unit of Novorapid. 1 hour post meal my BS was 9.3 mmol and then at 2hr post meal was 7.2. I am aware that my BS should be around 9 mmol 2 hrs post meal and 7.2 is great considering I normally range between 13 to 18 mmol but am now worried a little in case I hypo. I am trying not to test too often as had a call from GP re the amount of test strips ive been using (usually 10 per day) - but have been getting less and less hypo aware. Are my readings considered to be reasonable or should I test every half an hour to be sure?? Any thoughts .. as always.. would be very much appreciated
