[QUOTE="three1ne, post: 51816, member: 14563"] Hi people. New here. Registered here to ask a few questions im hoping can be answered. [b]Before Breakfast 10u Novorapid 5u Levemir Before Dinner 10u Novorapid 5u Levemir[/b] Ive had diabetes since 18 years old, im now 26. My 6 monthly check ups have always gone well and my average reading taken at the hospital (my 1Ac ?) has always been between 6 - 8 which im told by the doctors is near perfect. They have always been impressed with my levels and ive had my blood sent off to a university in Essex because they believed that I may not actually be insulin dependant. Although I should say that I personally believed I did need insulin and unfortunately I was correct. This Christmas just gone was my first not working in a busy record shop so decided id enjoy myself over a few weeks by eating what I wanted, drinking and not exercising. Sugar levels averaged out at around 15mmoI/L over those few weeks. Since Feb ive been exercising again, running every other day for an hour a day. I usually walk for around an hour or do some form of exercise on the other days. Im starting to run into high sugar levels after lunch and occasionally after dinner. A typical day from the past couple of weeks would be [b]Sugar level before breakfast[/b] 9 [b]Sugar level 2 hours after breakfast[/b] 8 [b]Sugar level before Lunch[/b] 5 [b]Sugar level 2 hours after Lunch[/b] 16 My problem is that I usual run after lunch. If I go for a run when my sugar level is 16, after im done running my level will be around 8 and usually 6 just before dinner which stops me from thinking an injection before lunch is a good idea. Is a level of 16 a problem (for a few hours a day if I am going for a run to counteract it?). As ive mentioned, I dont run every day so an injection of Novorapid may be 30 minutes after lunch would be a good idea no? Even a year or so back when my blood was being sent off for tests I knew my sugar levels were sometimes this after lunch. I think because its easier for me to test my levels more regularly has increased my awareness of my high levels. Out of interest, if my sugar levels are "near perfect" according to doctors but (for example) my sugar level around 3pm is constantly around 15 but fine all other times will that cause any long term problems?
