[QUOTE="StewartH, post: 2356500, member: 125907"] I went through the process of giving up carbs a few years back. Comparing my 'before and after' of injection doses, giving up on breakfast because I really dont feel hungry until lunchtime etc., taught me that dawn phenomenon is very real. I now take 4 units as soon as I get up. That usually keeps BS level on target in the morning period before eating at lunchtime.. If I am planning a physically active day like cycling or labouring on a building site, I have at least 3 boiled eggs for breakfast, even though I am not hungry, because I know I will be by 11 oclock if I am working hard. The spike you are battling with will be a combination of dawn phenomenon insulin demand and the glucose rush from the cereal, so the ratio calculation for the first dose of the day will not follow the later ratios. My recommendation.....go to work on an egg :) [/QUOTE]
