[QUOTE="Maco, post: 2361663, member: 465882"] But you took more bolus insulin yesterday which will of lead to the low? Think earlier you said you took 10units where as today you took 6 & went up to 8.9. If you manage to get a correct basal (Long acting) & then have the correct carb ratios for your fast acting you shouldn't see much raise/drop. It was the increased fast acting (bolus) insulin that sent you down to 3.3 yesterday I would imagine. So if the 6 units you took today where the correct amount & you'd slightly increased that background insulin you probably wouldn't of seen much of a raise. Where as yesterday, if you'd increased the basal but then over dosed your fast acting by taking 10 units you will go low like you have. Make sense? I know your not stupid & you clearly know what your doing, just trying to think of different things. [/QUOTE]
