Are you doing carb-free days? I'm not seeing much in the CP row. Going low or no-carb can be quite dangerous. You may or may not have been told on your DAFNE course that you ideally need at least 130 g of carb each day (13 CPs). It may just be that you have forgotten to record it, but if not, then I'd suggest having a chat with a dietician, because a certain amount of carbs are essential. Without them, you run a very real risk of ketoacidocis as the body will use protein for fuel rather than its preferred source of fuel - carbs.

Other than that, it looks quite good. You have a lot of stability there - they are running a bit high, but a couple of units of extra BI would probably solve that.

Cheers,
Warwick.

Some reds in there but nothing drastic.
Keep it going.

Hi guys
Yes I've just realised I've missed some of the cps will put that right, I do only tend to eat around tea time, sometimes I will have stuff during the day.
If I have a snack say apple should I put that in with the cp and qa I have been taking qa with snacks
Also at the moment I'm not overly concerned about the reds as this is only my third week so I'm still tweaking here and there I was thinking of upping my nighttime bg

Try and enter everything..especially if you are taking QA with it. Did you mean you were thinking of upping your BI?
