So I posted on here a few years back about spiking really high no matter what I eat and it’s still ongoing… it doesn’t seem to make any difference if it’s low carb or not. Just as an example today. Tuna sandwich on brown bread. Carbs are 20g per slice so 40g in total. 20g of protein in the...

Does anyone else have this problem? I'm so despondent. Everything spikes me and I have to take so much insulin all the time. Carb, protein, fats - doesn't make any difference i spike really high every time. I pre bolus. I make sure my libre is on a down arrow before eating but nothing seems to...

I havent been very well the last few weeks ( flu/sickness bug) and as a result my bloods were running higher than normal. I kept them in check but had to almost double my Insulin requirement. Now i am better but I weighed a few days a go and I have put on over half a flipping stone!! I...

As above. I need to try and note what insulin I take with food so that I have some sort of record to refer back to. At the moment I carb count ( which is fine ) but I need to have an easy way to save it all. I have used the MySugr app but dont find theres enough room to write down food...

So for the last week I have been getting really high Dawn Phenomenon. It's starting at around 2 - 3am and I'm going from around 7mmol right up to between 16 - 20mmol! I wake up at around 6ish and always correct it. I have the libre and I can see its happening like clockwork. It's a big rise...

Had a quarter of frittata today with bacon,onions and 2 small new potatoes and a 10g cereal bar - took 8 units and BS gone from 5.4 to 11.2 in an hour and rising rapidly ( libre ) I literally give up.

I get foot to the floor Syndrome when I wake. I take insulin before I get out of bed but I am really struggling to keep levels down in the morning. It seems to take aaaaages for my not so Novorapid to kick in and as a result i cannot eat breakfast or anything before lunch as I will spike.. I...

Today i had a ham salad brown bread sandwich for lunch. I took my insulin then went for a 20min walk. My arrow was pointing straight down on the Libre so I started to eat. I took the correct amount of insulin and my BG rose from 5.3 to 7.5 after 2 hours. Then I checked 30 min later and it was...

.....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.

...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.

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...

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 (...

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...
