a lot of lows and your giving yourself more insulin, take a look at your BI again while your QA ratios are the same all day.......

Definitely stop correcting within 24 hours of hypos (you did it on the 21/04 as well - well spotted later on though!)... your insulin sensitivity is increased during that time and therefore "breeds more hypos" (called the boomerang effect because your BGs bounce up and down as a result of the correcting for the hypo highs).

Once you stop that sort of correcting, things might become a bit clearer. Smile Keep up the good work!

I would recommend investigating your BI doses in that case.......
