[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2092118, member: 475037"] I prebolus half my insulin a half hour before I eat to stop the highs. If it's not coming down enough, for me that means I needed more insulin. It might not be normal for you, but things happen that sometimes require more insulin and that can change in a day. I'm going to make an assumption here................... I don't know how long you have been a type 1, but the honeymoon phase lasts up to 8 years in some people, which means your insulin requirements will slowly go up. I'm assuming since it looks like you are saying you are taking a set amount of insulin, the best thing to do is to learn how to carb count so you can start taking a more appropriately needed amount at every meal. That was quite a high carb meal and it might have required more insulin. Your night meals maybe are higher carb than your earlier meals so the dose isn't always working.
