Hi all!
So I've been using the Libre for a couple of weeks now which has been making me look more at the peaks and try to get tighter control.
But the past 4 or 5 days I've had some weird trends post-meal
Breakfast is a pretty normal peak then gradual decline all the way to lunch. I do my basal insulin (levemir) at 8am then cycle 20 min to work. But after eating lunch my blood sugar has been going low (at about the 2 hour mark). I eat something to bring it up- e.g. an apple, then it soars up to 12, 13 or even higher by the 4 hour mark.
I don't tend to get rebounds that would take me that high, and the amount I'm eating for the hypo isn't any more than I normally would. I also don't really prebolus so its not that.
Any suggestions? I'm thinking maybe it could be to do with my basal or bolus doses...?
