Hi,

Staying away from home wouldn't be possible as I have a lot of family commitments. I am however currently doing a similar course in my local area.

Hi travler,

Yes you are correct I'm not a dafne graduate & can't be because there are no dafne courses in my immediate area.

Hi,

I'm going to reduce my BI from 10u am & pm to 8u am & pm and see what happens for the next few days, also basing it on some of the fasting readings. I'm just a bit worried about seeing all the red numbers in there during the day, but obviously we have to deal with one thing at a time.

Hi,

Thank you to everyone who comments on my BG diary and although I may not always reply straight away I do always read through & take all comments on board.

Please can I have comments for the last 7 days
Tue 16/04/2013 - Mon 22/04/2013

I was wondering whether I might increase my BI from 10u am & pm to 12u am & pm. I like to have a 50/50 split if I can. The last time I made adjustments/tweaked my BI was March 9th
