well done, keep it up ! the sub 4.0's are a bit low but I often do the same without a problem. It can be a slow process getting it all 'right' and even then we all have little 'blips' where our BG's go a little bit off target. But overall keeping to the DAFNE principles is going to offer big
benefits in the long term as well as allow us the flexibility to eat more of what we like when we like !

I'll agree with Marke. If my BG is high at least it's only for a little while. Having the power to correct when carbs are underestimated gives great hope and freedom.

I had trouble similar to Carol at first. I think I was being to agressive with the Novorapid. I was hypoing all the time. I'm averaging between 4.5 and 8 now. Don't get me wrong I still hypo sometimes mid morning, but that's the BI (insulatard) peaking me thinks.

Oh by the way, I've put on a half a stone in weight in the three weeks since DAFNE. Is that normal?

I put weight on and then loss it and i dident eat anything different. But i am not now putting it on. Might be what you are eating rather than how much. If i had a lot of hypos then i was eating to meny dextro tabs and all that sugar puts weight on.
