Right I am fighting lows from ****. I can't tell you how frustrating this is. At 5 o clock for the past few days I have suddenly started to drop, fine this isn't so radical and easily solved with a snack. So today at about that time I had 5 small snacks. The problem is straight after dinner I start dropping like a stone for no apparently reason.
4:57pm 5.7mmol
5:16pm 5g (1.8g) Bread (judgement call) I wouldn’t normally treat without testing but trying to save strips before I run out.
5:56pm 5g (1.8g) Bread (felt low)
6:14pm 6g (2.2g) Bread (felt low)
6:56pm 5.6mmol/L 2.5units of Novorapid and 7 units of Lantus
6:58pm Had meal Soup + pasta 105.5g of carbs (up from 75g)
9:42pm 8.9mmol/L (expected)
10:48pm 5.9mmol/L (no intervention)
11:47pm 3.7mmol/L (wtf) 30g of bread (11g of carbs)
I increased my I:C ratio from 1:30 to 1:42 based on snacks I was forced to have the last few nights. Maybe I need to increase it to 1:53 but I’m hesitant because this is crazy. Comparatively my breakfast 1:15 and lunch 1:25 seem totally fine. The only thing in my diet that has changed is this soup and vitamin tablets called sugar balance that contain Vit C/B1/B6, niacin, magnesium, zinc and chromium. I didn’t think they would do anything and Sunday I stopped taking them because I attributed them to these lows. I really need my sleep and these lows are causing me trouble. The only other thing I can attribute this to be a random honey moon thing or stress magically raising and lowering my bgs. Why can't the D play ball
, its typical as well since i have an exam on thursday.
[note] I am doing a static 1.5units breakfast/2.5 units lunch/2.5units dinner, just to stabilise my bg for my exams with a 7unit Lantus (yes that’s a 46%/53% split which i don't want to go below, this wouldn’t work for me normally)
