Message: <blockquote data-quote="Colin of Kent" data-source="post: 1881218" data-attributes="member: 468270">Scenario 1: I eat lunch at work at about 12.30pm, bolus appropriately, BG remains stable throughout lunchtime and most of the afternoon, but then rises steadily from about 4pm until I get home and eat about 5.30 or 6pm. So, suspecting my basal was maybe to blame, I thought, okay, I'll do a fasting test. I've done at least three now, and each time, I didn't get the same rise in BG around 4pm. In fact, sometimes, I'm having to take a glucose tab to nudge myself back over 5 mmol/l to drive home.Scenario 2: I'm finding that, if my BG is a little high before a meal, I give myself a correction bolus plus the usual mealtime bolus. Invariably, this results in my BG remaining steady, and requiring a further correction bolus later. The correction dose is calculated via my pump's insulin sensitivity factor (1.5 mmol/l per U). However, I'm finding that when I need a correction away from a mealtime, it usually works okay, and sometimes takes me too low.I'm thinking that these two phenomena are related. Does anyone else have experiences like this? Can anyone enlighten me as to what's going on?</blockquote>
