[QUOTE="Spablauw_, post: 1643187, member: 426373"] Hello, I'm a 18 year old boy and just like everyone I like to have a treat once in a while, so yesterday I had chips with meat and fat sauce. My normal diet is quite low in fat and I might have exaggerated a bit last night with the french fries and sauce, I had the normal amount of carbs with the normal amount of insulin (around 70) and after dinner I was at 92 mg/dl so that was all right. In the afternoon I went for a run since I knew that fatty meals cause a delayed spike and make you insulin resistant etc... hoping that the exercise would counter my delayed spike. I checked 4 hours after my meal and I was at 115 mg/dl, I took my normal basal insulin and I went to bed. Another 4 hours later I woke up feeling "hyper" (you all know how it feels....) so I checked my sugars and they were at 243 mg/dl ! I tried to get them down with rapid acting insulin so I took 4 units (1 unit brings me down around 50 but I find I need more insulin to bring down "delayed spikes") I thought I did wel and I went back to sleep for another 3 hours of sleep. However, when I woke up I was feeling better but when I tested my BG it was still at 181 mg/dl. I haven't been able to get down my BG to a normal level ever since so I'm wondering what it could be. I'm wondering if it isn't any sort of "insulin resistancy" because of that fat meal yesterday? I have to say I've got more of these moments, not always necessarily after having a fat meal. The only relation between these moments I can think of is that it happens when I'm concentrated or when I'm excited about something, normally I'm quite a stressful person and those are the days my BG's are normal? I now took 7 units while at 247 that will hopefully bring my levels down, right now it's been 1,5 hour I took them and nothing changed.... Hopefully someone can help me! [/QUOTE]
