[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1371051, member: 240838"] This happens to me as well. A few months ago I wanted to see how long it took until my insulin started lowering me so I knew approximately when to prebolus. Eye opener. After 4 hours, no food and an entire days worth of insulin i still didn't drop, just kept rising. So now I have found a system. I eat as soon as I get up. I prebolus 10 min for avocado and a thin slice of deli turkey. An hour later I bolus again no matter where I am because I know I'm going to go up from ooodles of testing. Then again at 2 hours I retest and sometimes take another 1/2. Just to be clear, my 1st boluses for food is 1/2-1 unit depending on where I am. The second is the same, 1/2-1. With me, there is something with the shower. I go higher than if I just fiddle around. Makes no sense but it is what it is. I never come down unless its after 2 pm. So for me, I now keep topping off as I'm not at all ready for a pump yet. This might not work for everyone but if I don't do it I rise 40 in an hour, correct and drop. I'd much rather just put the breaks on and stay steady. I can still go up bit but it's negligible. Coffee can push some people's up too [/QUOTE]
