or timing your bolus correctly will help - pre-bolusing; injecting your quick acting ahead of time so the insulin is working when your body absorbs the carbs.
Hi, I am struggling to find food for breakfast that doesn't make my blood sugars spike. I would be grateful for any suggestions of tried and successful foods. Thank you all.

Hi Angel, I'm assuming you mean food for which you don't necessarily have to take insulin for? Just about all food spikes me to some extent even if only a small one (same for all humans I think). Have you thought about non traditional breakfast foods, ie meat, low carb soup, cheese, pork chop, or ANYTHING that is under or around 10 carbs or so. I'm not being facetious, who says brekkie has to be cereal et al? x
Hi there thank you, I count carbs and follow the DAFNE guidelines. I always have some carb with each meal and inject insulin for those carbs. I love fruit and low fat/no added sugar Greek yoghurt which I love most days but have now seen the large spike it gives me and I am wondering if I should try something with lower carbs.
Hi Slip I normally inject Bolus approx 10 minutes before eating as this is what the DAFNE course works on. Not sure whether 10 minutes is enough.
