[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2402192, member: 25851"] I should have known better than to think I had it half way sorted! About 2 yesterday afternoon BG started to drop and despite taking action to halt the drop, the BG just wouldn't get up above 4.5 until I finally found a chocolate bar in the cupboard and ate the whole thing. That put it up to 8.5 at 5.20 and it kept going up for another hour to 9.5. Then at 8 pm I had my 2nd meal - braised cabbage and carrot with a pork loin steak. And the BG dropped again. By 9 pm the Libre was warning me of a drop below 4.5 (I'm going to change the alarm level). Had a mint imperial and it stayed at 4.4. Gave up and went to bed but the alarm woke me up again at 1.30 am so I had another mint imperial and BG went up to 6.2 by 3.25 am. But by 7 am BG was 11.2 (30 units Humalog) and 12.2 by 8.30. Took my basal dose and then at 9.15, my bolus dose before scrambled egg and refried cabbage and carrot, with some extra spring onion. AT 10.30 BG was OK at 7.5. Today I am very thirsty though and have had quite a few cups of tea already. So the pattern I thought I was beginning to identify is just as wrong as all the other theories I've had. Things always just seem to work for me for a day or so, and then I go back to the usual choatic BG regime. I am planning another meal today - of a veggie stew but low on carbs. Staying away from meat just now - the only meat I've had available in the last few days has been pork in one form or another and I don't feel like having any more just now but I had egg this morning and I don't feel that I can stomach cheese either. So, just veggies. [/QUOTE]
