help please

hi , the DAFNE handbook says here that its 1CP that you should not take QA for. I'm not suggesting that it caused you a problem, I just noticed it and wondered why. Your DAFNE Educator should NOT be telling you to reduce your BI without seeing your BG readings over a number of days and then they should help you work out how to reduce it not just tell you to reduce it without any detail.....

yes thsnk you the DAFNE educator told me to drop my BI is I was low in the morning. I have been doing that but there is never 2 or 3 days the same. Now today agen I have had 3 days at 17 and this morning my BGs were 3.3 on getting up. AT 8.45 last night 11.8 at 10.0013 and at 12.0 14.9 then at 4.30 6.8 so Idont know if I should drop it agen. I dident have anything to eat before bed I han had a hypo at 16.00 BGwere 2.7 so had a orange drink On the dat I had2.5 CPs befoer bed I dident have any QAs because I had had the hypo the day before when I had had QAs with the CPS I had had and dident want to hypo agen at the time I just could not get my head round it to have extra QAs at bed time think I might be getting there with it hope my bloods dont go up agen. So I think I have to drop it agen to night.

Hi, I know it's almost a year on from your posts,but was just wondering what the outcome was, because when I had attended the DAFNE week, and we were then set free to continue on our own, I had similar problems with BGs all over the place and the adjustments for higher BGs were not giving the results we were told that they should, I was about to throw in the towel as it were, I was using ratios of 5:1 and 6:1 at meals to try to reduce high BGs, then we had the half day review within two weeks of the course and the educators thought my results were excessive, and the problem was that I had been using my stomach as the injection site for a long time, trying to vary the site, but the stomach was hardened and was absorbing the insulin at different rates hence the erratic BGs, so I started using other sites and almost overnight the control was 100% better and I haven't looked back since.

Not heard from Carol i a while, but I believe she is due to start a pump very soon................

have been on but not poasted thanks for you concerns though I have been moving my injection sites and have been okay for a few wek then it all starts going haywire agen as novorapidboi26 said I am wateing to start on a pump, but that wont be uyntill start of next year now.As they want another CBM on an I have just got appointmentyesterday for 5th Jan so the pump I was going to get was given to someone else and so they had to order another one and I think that they are just stalling me with saying that I have to have another CBM on just to make it look as if they are doing something in the meantime. Just felt a bit let down with them all as I seem to have been left on my own to get on with it for now. Ill let you know how it goes
