will it ever be under control ? doubt it

tried everything to get it to my target rate of 10 but finding it very difficult and confusing ?

At initial glance, some of the higher numbers appear to be because your QA doses may still be working (for example, when having dinner around 4.30pm and then testing again at gone 7pm, that's only 3 hours when QA can take up to 5hours). I am not sure why you would take on 7CP for 7.5BG on Sat 16/11... is this hypo fear response?

I do feel for you - it can be very overwhelming when BGs are being so irrational.

Am I correct in understanding that you pass on breakfast? What sort of numbers do you see upon waking despite not eating breakfast?
On that note, have you done any BI testing to see what your BI does working on it's own? It's okay to be high for this if you are unable to get in range for the test. Hopefully your waking BGs will spread some light on this - particularly for the evening BI dose.

Keep working at it, okay? Best wishes.

Have you been asked to up your target range joe from the normal 4.5 to 7.5 or 8.0 by your Health Care Professional team? Thanks.

yes garry as i was taking a lot of severe hypo's and have lost my warning signs so it was advised to have a higher target to start off with

hi jaybee this is what is getting me so mixed up is a quick acting insulin takes 5 hours to work means you can never really get it under control due to say eating 3 hours after your breakfast you can only cover cps without testing your blood and then constantly adding time on to the next time you can test your blood ?.i normally go to bed about 4 in the morning so breakfast is at 12 and normally dinner is at 7pm but the dafne way is supposed to let you change things and live freely but i have found this not to be the case for me

5 hours is a maximum, you should test to see how long it actually does last for you personally.....

when you work that time out, you can then do on board insulin calculations when you want to have food in between main meals............

do you feel you snack a lot...........?

no i dont snack a lot but days where i go to the football i do eat more but then am doing a lot more exercise and i was taking a lot of hypo's but that has been greatly reduced it is just frustrating when things dont work out the way you expect them to ?
