[QUOTE="phdiabetic, post: 1212260, member: 317494"] Hey everyone, I have had type 1 diabetes for 1 year and am currently on 4 units of Lantus at night and Novorapid at mealtimes. Recently, I started getting pre-lunch numbers were too high (above 10) and my blood sugars started to increase about 3 hours after my breakfast. A couple of mornings have been really bad, with mid morning results (about 9 or 10 am) of 14.3 and 17.9. I have been managing this by taking extra correction doses of Novorapid, generally between 2 and 4 units throughout the morning, which seems to give good results. Does anyone know why I might get a sudden increase in blood sugars in the late morning? I also noticed a similar but less pronounced increase in the 1-2 hours preceding dinner, although the pre-dinner numbers (6's-8's) were not as high as the pre-lunch ones. A couple of things to note: [LIST] [*]My Lantus dose is correct as I usually get good pre-breakfast numbers (in the 5's) and a couple of times I have gone slightly low in the night, so I am reluctant to increase the Lantus [*]I eat the same breakfast every day but this problem only started 2 weeks ago, so I don't think my food is an issue [*]I don't think this is dawn phenomenon since my fasting numbers are good and it only happens after I've been awake a few hours [*]I have not eaten anything between breakfast and lunch to cause the spike [*]My cortisol is slightly high but my doctor is not concerned [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
