HI
Firstly make sure your basal is down to pat - without it being sorted your ratios for carbs will be seriously out of wack. My initial basal seemed absolutely fine but my ratios were HUGE for 20g carb etc so I put my basal up and its now 6u per day higher but my ratios are much healthier
Secondly, indian food or any fat heavy food is notorious for a slow rise so you think the first two hours is looking great but after that its a horrible rise. The best way to tackle this is to either not eat it, or take your insulin later.
If my bg was at 4 two hours after taking fast acting, I would prob have a 5g cracker or something, to avoid possible hypo. If it was around 7 or 8 I would feel ok about leaving it. It will depend on you and your body.Novo does its worst/best in two hours for me, but it will drop a wee bit over the next two hours so I usually know by the two hour point if I will be ok
In terms of setting ratios, its meant to be back at what it was after 4 hours ,ergo the ratio is right. In doing this, I would avoid fatty slow rise foods if you can until you get a notion of whats happening cause if you are eating later, and it continues to rise during the night due to insufficient meal time insulin then it will 'set' your numbers higher (if your basal is ok)
You really are better to do one bit at a time -basal first, then ratios
Also, in terms of overnight testing - ensure that ALL novorapid is out of your system before bed, test and then eat nothing (as long as you are safe numbers) The morning number will show if its not right. Too high, you need more Levemir. Too low,you need less.
Some like to see a pattern for a few days before making changes, to avoid reacting to the inevitable diabetic gremlins (ie when the moon is in Jupiter) :roll:
