Looks like we agree on that.
Hi @karen8967 . Sounds yummy.
As far as I'm aware Fiasp is v. fast acting ( novorapid user myself )
Only an observation here but .....
Brown bread very slow to digest
Pork and pickle pie, not sure but maybe quite fatty. If so this would slow down digestion.
I would say that the tea you had took longer to digest than you maybe expected. This along side your pre bolus of Fiasp is what caused the resulting low.
Top marks for restraining yourself with the hypo treatment
Have a good evening.
Looks that way.Looks like we agree on that.
Do i need to lower basal in this hot weather?i take my fiasp just as im about to eat and normally drop about 1-2mmol then start rising but today i mustnt of just went down im currently at 11 now but wont correct see what numbers are in the morning .my insulin tends to stay in my system for 5 hrs i get a little drop . il stop boring yous now otherwise il end up writing an essayLooks that way.

Write away ! I always found that I needed less insulin in hot weather. Not sure if it is because the insulin sensitivity is better or if the warmth improves absorption. My minimum adjustment are about 20% up or down but that will vary from person to person.Do i need to lower basal in this hot weather?i take my fiasp just as im about to eat and normally drop about 1-2mmol then start rising but today i mustnt of just went down im currently at 11 now but wont correct see what numbers are in the morning .my insulin tends to stay in my system for 5 hrs i get a little drop . il stop boring yous now otherwise il end up writing an essay
Had my tea about 5.30 bolused correctly for it bgs were 5.8 b4 tea. sat in the garden aftetwards in the shade about an hour later felt a bit shakey so came in an finger pricked bgs down to 1.3 w.t.f and now ive probably over ate and me heads banging i hate this diabetes lark
With an insulin pump you can program the bolus to be released all at once or a % now and the rest 2 hours later. It takes practice but can work well for dealing with the 'longer-acting' meals like Indian cuisine (not the sweet desserts!!) etcThat seems like a good calculation. My only guess would be that maybe the pork and pickle pie has a pizza effect, and the fat in it made it take longer to absorb the carbs. So the fiasp had a windown of opportunity to cause a bit of havoc, in between.
That's just a guess, I have no idea if that might be the case.
I have done at my last consultant appointmènt a couple of weeks ago id stopped taking the teatime one but had to carry on with the morning one due to the is and the metformin is the only thing that helps with itStaying on the subject. This heat has increased my IS too... Basal related. Will need to drop a U.
Hi,
I notice from your profile, you also take metformin.?
What I know about the drug is it increases IS along with stunting liver dump.. Coupled with the heat, it may not have helped with the crash...?
Consult your HCPs regarding your med mix...
Thanks fairygodmother im fine nowI see that quite a few of us have had an ‘interesting’ day. Hope you’re feeling more stable @karen8967, @therower, @Knikki and all who’ve had a bit of bother.
This evening, after today’s yo-yo bonanza and BG getting in the way of meeting appointments and getting things done, let alone feeling good, I’m longing for a break. I feel I’ve done my sentence, served my time - all 48+ years of it and now I want a bit of respite.
Ah well, wishes, horses, beggars etc - hope everyone has a good day tomorrow!
Sleep well and happy dreams.
To offset all the wishes and horses: just remember the way to a man's money is to look in the washing machine !!I see that quite a few of us have had an ‘interesting’ day. Hope you’re feeling more stable @karen8967, @therower, @Knikki and all who’ve had a bit of bother.
