| How do you accuratly find out what your I:C is? By testing and more testing? Or are there some guidelines as to how much carbs for example one IE of Novorapid deals with?
I have lost some weight, especially when I was in the hospital. So now I eat at noon, then at 2pm I'm super hungry, and then again at 5pm (dinner) I'm super hungry and low blood sugar. (5.6 or so).
So right now, the two meals after noon is where I am the lowest, while the 8-9pm meal I have is when I go pretty high up. Then that's the last meal for the night, but I was just wondering if I decided to stay up later than lets say 10 or 11pm...
I did test something today though, I ate three slices of bread (low GI) set 6 IE (usually 8IE) and went for a 30-45 minute regular walk. At dinner check I had 5.6 BS, so that means I don't need to set as much (when eating what I did) and if I do some physical activity.
I've done tests at the hospital, at 2am and 4am. At 2am it was usually lower than at 4am, and then higher again at 7-8am.
The doctors at the hospital said that insulatard was fine for me, I asked them about the other types, and they said they could be used if I had problems keeping the blood sugar steady. But since it doesn't seem like I have any problems atm, I didn't need it right now. I'll ask them again when I get back on monday (home for the weekend).
Want to thank everyone for their help, every new advice and experience shared is something I appreciate. |
