Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this particular issue.
I'm a T1 looking for a bit of preliminary advice on blood glucose spikes after meals.
I've just started using a Libre, while it's fantastic I'm becoming a bit obsessed with getting my BGs under control.
What seems to be happening is I'm rising around early morning when I wake up then spiking high into 15/16 glucose count after eating breakfast. Then my BG drops to normal to low range during the day and then spikes high again after dinner into 12-15 range.
I'm meant to have fasting 5.3 target and 7 an hour after meals and I just wondered if anyone else had experiences with high spikes after eating, and if so what you did to remedy it?
I'm going to try upping my fast acting a little during these times and inject well before a meal so it's working quicker. I'm also going to check my basal insulin is the right amount.
For background I take Lantus once a day in the evening, novorapid fast acting.
