As well as "rounding up" or "rounding down" carbs do you also consider your BG levels ie low end of target (but not hypo!) & higher end of target? |

Definately! If previous QA is out system and target higher end would round up. but if at lower end would round down...am insulin sensitive so a little too much can send me hypo! Also need to consider corrections if BGs high |

I always just used the target 5.5 for all my bg readings.....if I was 4.0 or above though I would just dose up as normal....... |

Yup. I bare my BGs in mind everytime, since 0.5QA can drop me by 3BG. I aim for 6BG since it sits nicely in the middle of the 4-8 ideal range. |

I am the higher end of the target myself so i always round up. Only finished DAFNE last week and while my bloods aren't great they are a hell of a lot better than before. I had a mild hypo before lunch and ended up taking too many cps in error and an hour later when going to have lunch i was 10.6. A bit annoyed with myself over the cps but i corrected for lunch which i think was a mistake. I suppose you live and learn. |
