[QUOTE="andybee, post: 366676, member: 55950"] Having been diagnosed with type 1 in January this year at the age of 43 I have been avidly asimilating all of the excellent information available in this forum, so thanks to all who post with their experience and expertise. Being qiute new to this I am testing my bg quite often (approx 10 times per day) and whilst I am getting pretty good control (average 7) I am having high spikes after breakfast ie it can still be 12 plus, 2 to 3 hours after eating. If I skip breakfast the same thing happens after lunch. After 4 hours it will have returned to normal. The realy strange thing is that even a single 10 gram yogart can rasie my bg 6 points for 3 hours! If I skip breakfast then my bg will steadily rise by about 0.5 point per hour even though my levemir (10 units at nigh and 10 units in the morning) keeps me steady during the night and would seem to be at the correct dose. I think that I have some amount of early morning effect as I go go to bed at 6 I will wake up at 6 but if I go to deb any lower I will wake up higher than 6. Other meals seem to go off fine; 1 until (novorapid) per 10 grams will see me back to less than 9 after 2 hours and back to normal (4-6) after 3-4 hours. At the moment the only thing that seems to bring some measure of control to the after breakfast spikes is some fairly energetic exercise; at least 30 mins, which is becoming more difficult with pressure from work. Would be very grateful if anyone has had a similar experience or any advise. [/QUOTE]
