[QUOTE="becca59, post: 2553833, member: 264425"] [USER=529339]@Clueso[/USER] you ask about peaks after eating. We are all different and manage these in different ways, particularly now we all wear cgms and see these peaks in real time. However the rule of thumb is you need to be back in range 4-5 hours after eating the meal as that is when the insulin generally finishes working. If you are not then there are things to work on. There is so much written on this forum about peaks and testing before and 2 hours afterwards. This is for type 2s who are producing their own insulin. When you throw insulin injections into the mix it is a whole new ball game. Those peaks hanging around are about insulin timing, how old the insulin is, how much exercise you have taken part in that day, how carb heavy a meal is and what other things you ate at the same time and what level you were when you ate more food. Stress is also a big factor. If you are constantly worrying about what level you are this can have an impact-infuriating-but true. Keep experimenting, but don’t beat yourself up if each day is not the same. [/QUOTE]
