I was 3.1 yesterday morning at 10am so took 1 cp and was then 11.2 at 2pm. I didn't correct at this stage with my lunch and was 8.5 when going out for a run at 615pm and then 20 minutes later i was 6.2. Happy enough with that so had my dinner 6 cps but stupidly gave my qa of 6. Anyway two hours later i was 5.9 and was starving so had some toast of 6cp and don't ask me why but i took the qa with it of 6. As a result i was 2.6 going to bed so took 1 cp and fell asleep. Woke up at 7am and was 2.8. I had four cps and took qa of 2. I just checked now and i am 11.2. Without being stupid i am right in saying i should have taken 6-2 qa for my dinner last night and this wouldn't be happening now?

Louise,

Unless 1:1 ratio at breakfast is wrong or it was less than 3cps or BG too high!

Too many variables and possibilities for any of us to ever get this 100%!

Before bed last night: 10.7 (didn't correct as qa from dinner was still working)
This morning: 8.2. Had 3cps for breakfast so had 3u and 0.5 correction dose.
4hours later, my bg is 4.9

Does this mean that 0.5u drops my bg by 3?!

Providing your completely certain BI and QA ratios are correct then you could conclude that yes.......would be good to see a different breakfast the next day and see how it goes then too......

That's one way to tackle it yeah..........you can also reduce your BI for activities that are quite intense and long in duration, like a run, as you will see the effect of the activity right into the next day as your muscles replenish their stores of energy from the blood stream....
