[QUOTE="lollerhaylz, post: 1976447, member: 499603"] Well I'm just about pulling my hair out at this point. Tried increasing the bolus dose this morning and still got a reading of 18.5 two hours after eating. In comparison, when I used to have some sort of breakfast bar (typically 30g carbs) with the same ratio, I found my sugars would go back to pre-meal level, in fact it would usually be lower by lunch time. I can't see why this would be the case? I tried splitting the novorapid dose, that made no difference. I know it's usual to need different insulin:carbs ratios for different times of the day, but is it possible to need a different ratio depending on what you are eating? I wonder if slow carbs in the morning is just a bad idea for me. :( [/QUOTE]
