[QUOTE="kevinfitzgerald, post: 871154, member: 88583"] [USER=84861]@Heathenlass[/USER] I do not normally post anything regarding blood testing as it is something I am not consistent with and if being totally honest rarely do. It would be arrogant and dishonest of me. I am fortunate as I have good awareness by how I'm feeling regarding being low or too high. If I'm feeling low or high an hour or two after eating (or before) I will either inject a little more insulin or have a couple gulps of lucozade to put me right With regard to new foods it's just a quick analysis of what the main source of energy is and I adjust accordingly. I have a rough system of how much insulin I give before meals Breakfast anything from 4 - 8 units of Novorapid (this morning cheese and tomato omelette with salad 6 units) Lunch anything from 6 - 10 units of Novorapid (Didn't have lunch so didn't inject) Supper anything from 10 - 18 units of Novorapid (this evening chicken tika, rice and salad with wholemeal roll 14 units) Bed Time always 16 units of Lantus My diabetes team always tell me to continue as I am. I was told that as long as I keep my sugar levels in good range it's entirely up to me to how I do it. I used to test bloods strictly for a few years after diagnosis when I was 13 and I would advise any newly diagnosed Type 1's to keep it tight I have only been able to do this due to experience and nothing more. But yes fundamentally it is instinctive to what I eat and how I feel :) [/QUOTE]
