[QUOTE="Draco16, post: 2513621, member: 467776"] Hi, ok the definite 100% fact is that [B][U]given what you eat[/U] you don't take enough insulin to cover it,[/B] resulting in these very high blood sugar readings. To get better at judging how much more insulin to take you must eat the same meals everyday for a couple of weeks so you can learn how to better match insulin to carbs. then over these 14 days e.g. lunchtimes of eating exactly the same thing you can look at (keep notes / diary) your a) pre meal BS reading b) 3 hours post meal BS reading (aim to edge this slowly lower over the 14 days) c) how much insulin you took Do the same for breakfast and dinner. This is incredibly simple and it is the only way you can [B]learn to take more insulin[/B]. It also requires discipline and determination - but you've proven you've got loads of that as you mentioned you have given up caffeine and alcohol (I certainly never could!) [/QUOTE]
