[QUOTE="iHs, post: 112679, member: 8799"] Hello Ebony I have just read your message and also Deb's and Alan's reply and noticed from your signature that you are not using Novorapid. You are using Novomix 30 which is biphasic. Most twice daily insulins will be at their strongest effect approx 3-4hrs after the injection is done. From what you have said in your message, your blood sugar levels are somewhat high which means that you are not covering the amount of food that you are eating with the correct amount of insulin. You have 2 options here - either cut down a touch on the carb you eat at breakfast which will start to bring your bg levels down so that by lunchtime you are no longer high. You may or may not need to eat a small snack, it depends on what your bg level is mid morning. 2nd option is to inject a bit more Novomix which will do the same job if you want to keep the amount of carb the same as in your message. Try just increasing 1 unit at a time at breakfast if you decide to do this though. What makes so much difference to control of bg levels is in the testing. If you test about 6 times a day to begin with you will be able to adjust the amount of carb that you eat so that your bg levels stay at the target range given to you by your dsn. Hope this helps you and have a Nice Christmas :) [/QUOTE]
