[QUOTE="joelcam, post: 234689, member: 23163"] Hi, Something weird is happening with my readings and I don't get it. I am checking my levels 2 hours after breakfast and I am higher than I want to be (8 or 9mmol usually). Then an hour or so later I am having a hypo and I'm between 3 and 3.5mmol. I am thinking it may be that my Levemir dose may be wrong but I have always had 12 units in the evening and I'm only now getting this problem. The hypo doesn't bother me but the high reading does. If I inject more with breakfast then obviously my hypo will happen quicker and be more severe so I don't know what to do. Could it be my breakfast as I am having wholemeal toast? Do I need something with slower cating carbs maybe, like porridge? On the subject of porridge, I only like it if it's sweetened with honey / sugar, so not really something I can eat - anyone have any ideas how to liven it up a bit? I am thinking of doing some basal testing but before I do, does anyone have any thoughts? JC [/QUOTE]
