Hello everyone,
First time posting on here. I have often read threads from others and taken advice so I thought why not sign up and become a part of the community.
After having breakfast (varied from toast, yogurt and cereal day to day) I often find I need an out of proportion dose of Novorapid to ensure my levels don't spike. Eating no more than 14 units for a 1 in 10 carb counting plan. I find that I usually have to give more than 20 units, sometimes as high as 25 to prevent blood sugars from soaring up to 17-20. On waking up my levels are often quite controlled between 5-9.
Could this be due to dosage of my long lasting insulin? Maybe poor sleep or stress? Any advice would be great.
Thanks for reading, hope you're having a good day
