what BG insulin are you on

A couple of things here - I sometimes find that if your BG is above 11, then the insulin seems to bring them down by less than the expected 2-3mmol/l per unit of QA insulin, so a bigger correction may be needed.

Also - if you want to share your entire online diary with each other, you can click a user's name and select the 'Share my DAFNE Diary' link on their page.

Thanks,
