Before Dinner Reading

Hello,

I'd be grateful for some advice. I'm generally pretty pleased with the ratios that I use for my QA throughout the day but I can't seem to get my before dinner readings sorted, I am often too high at dinner time but can also be randomly pretty low or ok so find it hard to work out a pattern or to be confident in increasing my lunch time ratio. My night time readings are also randomly too high, low or ok after I have corrected for my higher pre dinner readings (despite me using the same ratios each time for the corrections). My diabetes clinic suggested that I try splitting my BI dose (and taking half at lunchtimes) as maybe it is running out by dinner time but this wouldn't help with the randomness of the ok and lower readings that I can also get at this time (also, my BI is really small at 5 units as it is). Can anyone think what I'm doing wrong, I'd love to be able to get the dinner time readings right. Thanks.

Is there anything you particularly do before each random BG incident, or are most days the same/routine?
Glad to see you're almost there though with the doses. Well done.

Thanks for that. I can't think of anything that I'm doing differently on the days that I'm higher at dinner time, my days are pretty routine with each day at work being really similar in terms of physical activity (in that I sit at a desk all day). I have noticed that my BG rises when I feel stressed at work but I can't see any real pattern with that either- unless I'm maybe actually more stressed than I realise some days.
