I am from India,hence I eat roti(kind of bread)My doctor told me to take 11 unit of insulin per meal as I eat 5 roti with veggies.Hi. Can you tell us more about your insulin regime, whether you carb count and what your typical diet is? Do you have a lower carb diet?
I exercise and do yoga every morning.Im assuming u were taught carb counting and such. (if im wrong then first step looking that up will help big time!), and wouldnt say this next one is the easiest as many people cant find the time or lazy, but some exercise can help with ur BG too. What do u do to maintain a good BG right now?

My insulin dose are fixed .
11 unit per breakfast, lunch and dinner
And 15 unit of insulin when I go to sleep at night as it control my BG level when I am sleeping.
Try to cut down the roti. You are taking so much carb. In each meal you can take 2 roti + 1 egg + 300 gm green salad + 150 grm green Veg.I am from India,hence I eat roti(kind of bread)My doctor told me to take 11 unit of insulin per meal as I eat 5 roti with veggies.
Mr chandrdevTry to cut down the roti. You are taking so much carb. In each meal you can take 2 roti + 1 egg + 300 gm green salad + 150 grm green Veg.
Try to maintain the similar food habit in each day. In dinner you can include 150 gm chicken . Your bg will not fluctuate.

Hi again. As another poster has said, when you are on MDI it is best to carb-count i.e. vary the quantity of mealtime fast insulin to match the carbs in your meal. I think you need to understand how many carbs there are in your roti portion or any other carb foods and then vary the Bolus (fast) insulin to match. Many of us use a ratio of around 1 unit of insulin to every 10gm of carbs but you will need to be careful and use the meter a lot if changing the Bolus and/or the portion size in the meal to avoid a hypo. After a while you will find the ratio that works for you and controls the BS. You also need to check that your Basal (night-time) is right and there are ways to check this. Also be aware that the higher the amount of carbs you eat the higher the BS swings will be.I am from India,hence I eat roti(kind of bread)My doctor told me to take 11 unit of insulin per meal as I eat 5 roti with veggies.

I won't comment on your food intake as many other people have commented on this already. But One thing that is very important is physical activity. For me it seems so much easier when I'm active. Because I've been living with Type 1 for so long - I've been fortunate enough to know a lot of people with diabetes over the years - based on my experience those people who had regular daily activities such as long distance walking, cycling, climbing - exercise good for ones cardio vascular system - seemed to have a much easier time with their condition than those who had a more sedentary life style.It's been 1 year I have been diagnosed to type 1 diabetes.my BG level kinda fluctuate.

My three favorite activities are long distance cycling, 5 km speed walks and wilderness canoe trips. So if you haven't already - try getting in to the habit of doing regular weekly physical activities that would benefit your cardio vascular system.
After lunch I always feel fatigue no matter how less I consume my food.Is there any pattern to your BG fluctuation?
For example, is it usually high in the morning, or low after yoga?
There are a lot of things which affect our BG levels such as exercise, diet, time of day and stress.
When trying to stabilise our BG, we need to analyse our BG in relation to these things.
