I think if you eat a lot of fats with your carbs it sticks you at a number. I find if I have peanut butter on toast I'll stick at 11 a few hours later despite taking some bolus to try correct it, usually takes over an hour to get it to drop at all. It seems like the fats slow down the insulin absorption.
I eat my dinner at 8 too and still usually snack later (with or without an extra jab). I haven't recently though which I think has caused some bad nights. Just a thought, it might be worth trying a unit and 15g of carbs (something whole grain and savoury). I know Drs say don't snack before bed, but they don't really understand that yes going to bed at 7 and waking up at 7 seems to make sense, but oh what a surprise it doesn't work that way.
Do let me know what the dr says tomorrow. I have no 'team' as such here, I've never had any support. Hence signing up to this forum
