Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

With the long weekend I have made an effort to see if my background is correct so have gone carb and fast acting free, it seems fine as some of my meals must have had a few sneaky carbs I would be 6 or 8 before and go up to 11, but my background would keep me at 11 for hours.

Looks like my hypo issues are carb counting and over correcting!!!

On the plus side, back on the carbs now and overdosed for cheesecake 😉by running at 11ish for a day got full awareness back 😄

Reading around on the web I am wondering if NovoRapid is the best fast acting for me, I calc'd the cheesecake amount based on the box, but I reckon I still had some NovoRapid in the system from dinner 2 hours before, have seen Actripda (sp) is a lot faster acting, wonder if something like this might be better?

Thanks for all the feedback.

Phil
