@Starstruck111, well it does look like your levels ARE up and down as mentioned above. I really don't like to comment on anyone elses graph but I would not like my own to be displaying so much variability (up and down constantly), not sure if your graph is reading across one day or several but my own (based on 1 meal a day which I know isn't for everyone and maybe a couple of small, lowish carb snacks) is a much smoother line, it goes up after my meal then remains relatively stable all day apart from slight ups and downs during exercise etc. Each to their own but personally, but if I ate 3 meals a day (which are quite carb heavy) followed by crisps & chocolate (also probably carb heavy) then I know I would be doing nothing but injecting insulin and staving off hypo's and hyper's most likely. You may be different of course. x
I’m one meal per day too and always have been except when consultants or friends tried to get me to eat more... now 40 years and still lean and fit. No complications.
The worst thing about eating more is insulin stacking. Best thing when I was pushed to by others to eat more was to leave 5 hours inbetween.
However, I now have two different basals, 2 different bolus - and one meal per day. Bloods very rarely above7.0 at any time and very few hypo’s.
Lucky I am with a tertiary care hospital with a superb consultant that lets me have the insulin’s I have asked for and give as I wish.
Fiasp, insulatard morning.
Novorapid teatime or any eating say at Christmas that may be extra.
Tresiba insulatard 10pm.
Heavy carb meals are yuch for my stomach and colon but manageable with insulin’s but generally 99% of time my food is low carb.
