Thanks for the reply! For the record, I generally eat healthy and try to keep carbs to under 100g per day. I would eat yogurt and fruit for mid morning. Lunch - Salad, frittata, pasta or a sandwich Maybe some dark chocolate after. Dinner - chicken curry, spaghetti bol, jacket potato, fish...

I guess by normal I mean just regular food. Cottage Pie, pasta, sandwiches etc... And the occasional treat like a burger or pudding. Generally Iike to eat healthy food - keep the snacks to a minimum.

.....and has good BS control? Usually eat low carb but just fed up of it at the moment! Feeling a bit fed up with diabetes and just want a bit of normality back. I do have a libre which helps.

I'm pretty spot on with my ratios and used to pre bolusing before meals. I think weetabix just doens not work with me! I'm ok with potatoes cooked all ways but still limit to 30 -40g per meal. Rice is so ok, pasta a bit more tricky but manageable.

Why though?? What's in it??? Honestly I had it last night when my insulin requirement is at its lowest- I was 7.4mmol before and 2 hours after 17mmol!!! I even gave extra insulin ;)

Thanks for replying. I rarely eat in the mornings as my insulin resistance it not great do I had it just before lunch. Also I'm very mindful of protein raising my BS and am aware of my different ratio depending on what time of the day. I'll just stop eating these bars!! Another thing that...

Just checked ingredients- maltodextrin! Theres my answer most likely

9g of carbs per bar. I had one bar. Yes I know it will all be carbs!

...from 5.8 to 13.2 in two hours! With 3 units of insulin! It was a 9g cereal bar, just had peanuts,milk,soya,barley and oats.

I take 6 units of Abaseaglar in the morning and 12 units at 6pm ( approx.) I used to get high readings in the morning but couldn't up my basal as I would go hypo in the night. Split does works well for me. My BS also goes up in the morning even without food so I have to take insulin to keep it...

No I dont crash before. I have eaten a white roll for lunch and I dont get the spike, hence why I thought the low GI breadmight be the reason.

Sometimes if I am running a bit late I will grab a sandwich for lunch. I generally try to stay away from it. I always take the right insulin to match my carb but i always spike too high even after 3 hours. I go for granary or wholemeal with a chicken or ham filling. I was thinking it could be...

Well my period had finished yesterday and I'm back to waking up on roughly the same number as when I went to bed so looks like that was the issue! Will bear in mind for next month and increase my basal

Yes I have tested overnight and it may go up by 1 or 2 mmol but this is over 10mmol! I'm hoping it's period related. I am super insulin resistant in the morning which also doesn't help I will try a low carb dinner and no snacks in the evening and see where I am tomorrow morning.

Sorry, I don't know how this double posted! Thank you

I've been having really high blood sugar in the morning the last few days, up in the 17 - 20s. Im usually well controlled so this is a bit of a surprise. I eat low carb and haven't eaten before bed plus I'm going to sleep on a good number for me. It is my time of the month so I'm thinking (...

Yes I know that. That was why initally I tried full fat yoghurt but still spiked. Fruit and a bit of cream isn't the end of the world for brekkie though

Thanks for the replies ☺ I take Abaseaglar in the evening, at 10pm ish. Interestingly I tried fruit and double cream for breakfast the last few days and not had crazy spikes at all!!

Hello. I've been type 1 since February ( diagnosed on my birthday! ) I'm doing ok and I pre bolus for all my meals which works well. I am having a bit of trouble with morning rises though. I can be a good figure when I wake up but even when I pre bolus for say 20 mins before eating I'm rising...
