I cut 25% off. Of my basals over night. I woke up this morning at 4.7. Sitting at 4.5 now (2 hours later)

What did you drink and how much? If we're going to become fully involved in this experiment. :)

Now this is an experiment I could REALLY get involved with hehehehehehe (hic!!! hic!!!).

I have taken to having the odd glass of red wine of the evening and have not seen too much of a difference with my numbers at all.

Recently I was back in the Uk and had two SERIOUS whiskey sessions with my mate and my numbers again were not effected... and when I say serious I mean SERIOUS... even the hang over did not push the numbers up or down.

Apart from beer that is high in carbs has anyone else had any experience that we could all er... ahem... reproduce (hic!!! hic!!!0 all in the name of science of course ;)

I drank 12 beers last night
Within about 4 hours

[Des]

Now since I was Dx I have not been near beer at all because of the carbs... I have been staying with the wine and Whiskey... oh life is hard.... hehehehehe

So these four beers did not effect your numbers at all... had you eaten prior to the beer or perhaps have a reading before the beer.

I was bolusing half the carbs so a bottle of light beer is 5g
I bolused 10g an hour for 3 beers an hour I was at 7 at one point that's the highest I got

Now thats what I call a result hehehehehehe

I will obviously need to do a few experiments of my own (hic!!! hic!!!)

Tell me if I have this right?
You are on a pump?

You are taking insulin to cover 10g each hour that you were drinking?

Does that go in all at once or is it spread over the hour?

You were drinking 3 5g beers and hour or 3 10g beers an hour?

You cut your basal %25 over night. Did that start before you started drinking or after you finished?

I'm curious because I have not figured out how to sucsessfully bolus when I'm drinking say 4 20g beers in 4 hours. Yeah I'm a light weight, what of it?
I'm on MDI and I'm wondering if I should just bolus for each beer when I pour it?


Thanks,
Tommy

a) i am on a pump.
b)i am bolusing once an hour, bolusing for 1/2 the total carbs.. so i drink 3 light beers an hour, i bolus for,(total carbs=15g. i cut that in half, which turns it into 8g)
c)i give myself one bolus an hour..no its all at the same time
d)i was drinking 3 5g beers an hour...(i messed up my earlier post..i was bolusing for 8g carbs an hour..not 10)
e)i cut my basal at the time i stopped drinking and went to bed...so for you it would be your night time basal..if your on 2 basal shots a day
