[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1388894, member: 32394"] Did you do you calculations right though? 39 / 3.5 = 11.1 , so quite far away from being "about 12", you rounded up significantly to get to 12. I think that might be the problem. You're on a pretty tight I:C ratio, maybe avoid rounding up? Do you know what your correction factor is? Cos you seem to have given 2 units to correct down from 8. If you know how much 1 unit will lower blood sugar that would help you decide how much to dose as a correction. Try not to work out with active insulin on board. Keep hypo treatment handy. Test frequently, if you can see you are dropping you can sip a little lucozade and halt the drop before you get to hypo under 4. [/QUOTE]
