Message: <blockquote data-quote="Julian_Hands" data-source="post: 1230643" data-attributes="member: 324327">I'm currently trying my hardest to control my diabetes allot better but finding this really hard with Pen medication and also with my cycle commute to and from work.Yesterday I commuted 60.9km overall (30.4 each way) and last night I had my evening meal and my BG maintained from 20:00hrs to 22:30 hrs @ 9mmol/L, maybe a little high but was happy with that as I was expecting a drop.Due to my sugars dropping off whilst at work (19 blood tests carried out yesterday), last night I reduced my Lantus (Long Acting Insulin) by a further 2 units but have woken this morning at 5:40hrs with a glood glucose of 3.2mmol/L?I've cycled in again today and reduced my NovoRapid (short acting) by 4 units, then ate my cereal (All Bran (75g) and Semi Skimmed milk(250ml)) 46g carbs in total. This allowed me to leave the house at 6:25hrs with a blood glucose of 6.0mmol/L, but after getting to the top of the climbs on my ride, at the halfway point (15km) I tested my sugar and had a reading of 2.8mmol/L, therefore I ate a bit of homemade flapjack (approx. 20g carbs) to give a boost and got to work with a BG of 5.1mmol/L at 7:45hrs. (perfect).I've now seen a trend over the last 5 days, gained by closely monitoring my BG sugars with an average of 15 tests a day and to see the effects of the cycling, but really baffled by a definite trend i'm now seeing. My BG levels have spiked consistently an hour after I've got to work and today at 8:45hrs my sugar again rose to 11.4mmol/L?Can anyone advise if this maybe the morning cereal (All bran) kicking in and should I eat my cereal first thing in the morning, then administer my Novorapid once I've arrived at work, to maybe help flat line the spikes?</blockquote>
