[QUOTE="clanders, post: 2106287, member: 156382"] Hi Thelma 21, Be wary of taking more insulin as you may experience more hypoglycemic episodes. It's possible that you need a higher insulin to carbohydrate ratio but do this in consultation with you diabetic team for the safest options. My Consultant advises that post meal spikes are the normal for Type 1's and tend to lower to within range after 2 to 4 hours. Does your carbohydrate counting need an update. Also a libre user I find them intermittently widely inaccurate with as much as a full 7mmol of glucose inaccurate (showed 15.2 mmols when the blood test (Caresens and libre) showed 7.2. I'm advised to leave blood sugars for 2 hours post meals before I use Novorapid. I now calibrate my libre every morning to check how accurate it actually is :-) Good luck [/QUOTE]
