hey guys do skipping meals make BG spikes I mean in my situation lately my schedule changed I sleep late so when I wake up by 3;00 /2;00 pm my BG is always out of range I did increase my basal by 1 unit 5 days ago it didn't help also I have a bad tooth im going tomorrow to the dentist can it be the cause because the spikes are so high i dont think its the tooth it goes up to 260 mg/dl ( 14.43 mmol/l) what should I do first increase the basal or fix the tooth if its the cause

No way to tell.
Are you confident in adjusting your doses now you're running high all the time?
Can you contact your diabetes nurse for advice?
