Hi,

One other point. I note that you have been diabetic for twenty years and yet your diary entries always show your injection site as your stomach. If this is always the area you use then your insulin may not be absorbed correctly or consistantly. Like grandma Carol I have been on insulin for 37 years or thereabout and I have found that my stomach has given problems from time to time by having varying rates of absorption (of insulin) over quite a small area. This leads to either high or low bg readings all other things being equal. You should discuss varying your sites with your doctor/nurse.

All the best! :-)
