[QUOTE="jameshallam, post: 205510, member: 23748"] Thanks for the ideas all. I have done the fasting test before and had a pretty stable blood sugar from about 8am to 5pm. There was a small peak about an hour after waking (only by 2-3). the rest of the day it was completely flat. This was a while ago, so next time ive got some free time ill do the same again for the IT. The way I reasoned the spike was that I was having a morning high on top of the post eating high - which stacked up to a mega high! I normally eat 50g of Oat Crisp in the morning - which is less sugary than the other cereals. Including milk there is 40g of carbs. I tried moving to some egg on (wholegrain) toast (just under 40g) without much luck. Whenever I am away on business I have some assortment of cooked breakfast - this always throws me because the carbs are minimal but lots of protein. The consultant said he doesn't normally split Lantus (there's no point he said since it lasts 24hrs). He said the next step would be to split the IT if this doesn't work. I think my next step is to do some fasting tests to re-calc my ratios and background amount. [/QUOTE]
