Hi,

What can I do to get more BGs within my target ranges:
Breakfast, lunch, dinner - 4 - 7
Bedtime - 8 - 12

Was thinking of tweaking my ratios:
Current ratios for breakfast, lunch & tea - 1:1 (1u to every 10g carbs)

you seem to be rising from when you get up, to when you actually eat something, but that unrelated to QA ratios.....

start with your breakfast ratio, or your first meal if you want to call it that, if you are high at the next meal, 4-5 hours later, then you can up your ratio to 1.5:1 [1.5 units to 10g]...you should only up the ratio after observing your readings for 2-3 days though, and don't change your BI dose when doing this.....

So after having breakfast then find I'm high at lunchtime alter the breakfast ratio?
