[QUOTE="pattifaye, post: 1067016, member: 45722"] Hi [USER=266068]@Samwar[/USER] Based on the TDD that your nurse gave you, your correction factor worked out at 100/17 works out at 1 unit to bring down by 6mmols or 0.5 for 3mmols. If you use this as a base for calculating with mealtime insulin and aim, initially to correct to achieve a level of 8 prior to your next meal. Once you are a bit more confident aim for 6. A half unit pen is essential and not just for kids. Are you carb counting? It does appear you are on fixed doses which is not really acceptable nowadays. It is really difficult to get anywhere near good levels if you are not matching your insulin dose to carbs. Not your fault, however you should have access to a dietician from your team. You may also be coming out of your honeymoon and need to up your doses. Also, there is no reason NOT to give your insulin before eating. really bad practice and if you have been told to by your nurse, that is dreadful [/QUOTE]
