[QUOTE="corbanwolf, post: 2385287, member: 470675"] [ATTACH=full]48504[/ATTACH] Hey Recently I found myself spiking quite often, even after probolusing A LOT. The food I eat causes me to spike a lot and very quickly. I eat on breakfast, for example one crumpet 16g carbs, 250g yoghurt 12g carbs, and one medium apple 20g carbs, so in total it is 50g carbs so it is 5units of my Humalog insulin.

Please let me know if you experience same thing and what parts of belly do you inject too. I feel a bit lost. Sometimes insulin seems like doesn't work, but actually it works, but is delayed 5h-6h. In general, the further from the belly button, the slower the insulin works, and, sometimes, doesn't work at all. [/QUOTE]
