Thank you I'll take a look as I've got an appointment made with my DS at the end of the month and I'm going to fire out the questions obviously but I'm going to suggest maybe changing my fast acting insulin as at the mo I'm using humalog, now I've been using humalog since time began albeit at diagnosis I was taking 2 injections a day of humalog mix 25 (1996) and 2013 I changed to basal/bolus and am now using "humalog" so perhaps I've built up a resistance?? It's a stab in the dark but I can't keep having random results as it's wearing me out!
Also @lizdeluz thanks for the tip I LOVE swimming and earlier this eve I tested and was 10.8 so I went for a swim, tested when I got home and they'd risen to 23.4 thankfully ketones were negative! You say you find that after a few hours your sugars drop? That's possibly because you are doing excersize that involves your arms... I was told by a dietician (yep) that anything involving your arms be it swimming, bowling etc lowers sugars and yet again no one knows why! Xx
