[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1364448, member: 240838"] I correct between meals if need be. I have found 1/2 unit of insulindrops me about 20 if taken 2 or more hours after food and away from food. However your insulin sensitivity/resistance plays a big roll. How many carbs you arteries, how much fat and how much protein. I think the first thing you should do is make sure your basal is right and how your boluses are workin gwith your meals. If you're always high, without hypos you might up your meal bolus a bit until you find how much insulin will cover your meals. A lot of us are more insulin resistant in the morning and become more sensitive as the day progresses. I need more insulin in the morning but you might be different. Can you tell us what your pre and post meal numbers are and how much insulin you are taking. What a normal day of food looks like? If your spiking after a car you meal taking your insulin a little while before your meal might help. [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] taught me this and it makes a big difference even though I hardly eat carbs. I would think it would make a much bigger difference for a carbs meal. [/QUOTE]
