I am having problems controlling my sugars due to stress with a family situation (dad been recently dxd with cancer) and am feeling rather :-S about this at the moment...

Any tips?

Hey, sorry to hear about your dad, must be hard an you.

Something needs to change to get those readings down.

I would probably start with my BI insulin, easier if on levemir to notice a change.

I would do that because I would not want to change any ration of QA if I thought they might settle back down again.

If that causes problems, then you will have to adjust your QA ratios starting from your morning reading. It looks like your best time of the day is dinner.

Also on the Monday 26 you took 12 BI units, this is a mistake?

It must be hard to focus on yourself when your family needs all your support.

Try the BI, then the QA, thats my opinion...

The floor is open............
