Topic: General Discussion / My Blood Glucose Diary - all comments welcomed!

Here are the cps for the last few days. However I can't record the amount of qa as I would never trust doing this when going to bed to sleep. Any comments on this or what to do would be very helpful.

Mon 01/04
buttr pffs 3 - 6.2g ech = 18.6g/2 CP

Tue 02/04
trt sze bscts 2 - 13.7g ech = 27.4g / 2/3 CP

Wed 03/04
trt sze bscts 2 - ditto

Thu 04/04
trt sze bscts 2 - ditto

Fri 05/04
sndwch 2 rnds/bsct

also sometimes I have a sandwich:
1 slice bread - 17.7g - 2CP
2 slices bread - 17.7g ech = 35.4g/3/4 CP

Thanks I will start to record supper cps in my BG diary

What do you think of my BS?

Wondering whether to up my BI. At the moment I take 10u @ 10pm & 10u @ 10am. Really want to keep it at a 50/50 split so wondering to up it by 2u am & pm.

Topic: General Discussion / My 7 days Before-and-After testing

So I've done the last seven days of this
https://www.accu-chek.com/us/data-management/testing-in-pairs.html

Any comments on this would be welcomed also how do you think my mealtime ratios are?

My current ratios are:
2:10 - breakfast
1:10 - lunch
1:10 - teatime

I changed the lunchtime ratio on Tue 26/03 from 1.5:10 to 1:10 as I was getting hypos before tea.

Topic: General Discussion / Ratios - mealtime

My current ratios are:
2:10 - breakfast (that's 2u to every 10g carbs)
1:10 - lunchtime (1u to every 10g carbs)
1:10 - teatime

I really don't know how I came to have these ratios.

What's the best/easiest way to find your correct ratio. Is it if you are holding steady from one meal to the next?
