Okay, so I think I was over-keen...

It's 5:45am and I just got this wonderful reading (see photo) which I haven't got in at least - oh, I don't know - ten years?! Whoops.

I decided to go for a hefty correction dose of novorapid rather than have lantus in my system that would overlap the next dose and make monday night a possible hypo-fest. I was expecting to be a bit high, but not quite this much...!

I'm not even sure why I thought I'd need as little as half (16 units) on a fast day, except that when I was barely eating anything for 3 months, I only needed 12 units. I mean, my levels were low-ish most of my first proper fast day, but I still didn't need to eat more than the required calories to keep it at a sensible level (not including drinks). Of course, by the evening I needed to eat loads, but maybe that could be combated by having no bolus at all with tea? I don't know.

Isn't diabetes fun?!
