[QUOTE="Maco, post: 2361649, member: 465882"] So the only thing I can suggest from your reply is to ask for your basal insulin to be changed, Maybe something like novomix that can be given twice a day. I used to take it on a morning then before bed, basically every 12hrs. Your basal could need to be lower for throughout the evening & higher for a daytime. Im on a pump these days which automatically does my basal insulin based on my needs. Im a bit at a loss to be honest, even with a basal that needs adjusting taking 10units of insulin for 21grams of carbs should surely see you drop. I wouldn't really worry about trying to correct a reading of 8.9 either. Im quite baffled by what your saying to be honest, if your 1:10 and ate 50grams of carbs taking 10 units realistically you should of seen your readings drop well below 4.0. Im guessing your correction ratio is around 1:2 or 1:3? One other thing that could sound really really stupid, your insulin isn't out of date is it? [/QUOTE]
