Help

I'm just finishing week of DAFNE and feeling a bit of a downer ! Anytime I try and take that much talked about cake or treat and match cp to qa ratio my sugar hits the roof !!
Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Hey,

Once you have got your background right and your QA ratios you should be able to eat what you like................after we all eat we should expect a spike of some kind, a way to reduce this is to inject 10, 15, 20, 30 mintutes before you eat, trial and error really...........

starchy foods and things with fat tend to get digested slowly, so getting the insulin in early so it matches the digestion of your food can give better mid meal results......

could you elabotate amy more............

It seems like I can control BG when I use ratio at meals but any extra CP seems to cause huge rise in BG even if I give QA as per my ratio !
Thanks for your response

thats seems strange, you should confirm that over a few days, often when a snack comes soon after a meal, a hypo can occur due to the stacking/overlaping of insulin......
