I'm struggling to keep my readings in the green and was wondering whether anyone could offer me any advice please.
I've been doing different ratios on the weekends because I'm more active then. I'm not sure about my lunch ratio during the week and also my morning lantus dose. I did a carb free lunch on 1/8 which showed that my BI needs increasing but I guess I've been reluctant to do this. Also I thought it might be possible my high reading after the carb free lunch was due to a hypo reaction so my BI doses are still 10 (am) and 8 (pm). I do take my BI at the same time (8am and 8pm) even though my diary may say otherwise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks :-)

Take it that entry 03/08 18:40 should read BI 8?
Looking from afar, the majority of your entries are in the red. Personally speaking, I always see that as BI adjustment needed. If you need make lots of + compensation doses...that seems to say that BI needs upping.
What BI do you use?

Hi Garry,
Yes that entry should have been for BI. My BI is Lantus, split dose because it wasn't lasting the full 24 hrs. I increased the dose this morning to 11 so I'll see how it's looking in a couple of days. Thanks
