Hello! I've been trying to be really good and write down all my blood tests the last two weeks so i can try and get my dafne control back but i don't know where to start. i'm yoyo-ing up and down really badly. I don't know if i should put my background up because i'm having hypos, but my pre-meals are all 8-13. Can anyone help? Mia x |

its hard to say when you are giving yourself 3 doses of background......im not saying thats wrong but its hard to tell whats working if the insulin isnt been given a chance to work the full 12hours........and I see sometimes is 3 doses, and sometimes its 1.....you really need 3-4 consistent days to spot a pattern... |

oh my god you're so right - i hadn't even noticed i was doing it. i'm taking it twice a day but just take it when i go to bed and when i wake up, which can really vary so it's definitely not 12 hours apart. I can't believe I hadn't noticed, i'm just so used to doing it that way. I'm changing as of today to take my BI at a set time so hopefully that will be a good start. |

I used to take my doses in the morning and beforte bed, but I then forced myself into the habit of taking it at breakfast and dinner so as to give me 12 hour coverage... |

As Simon says..............get your team involved and tell them what you have heard here, they can then give you the one to one advice on what to do with your BI..... |
