High Mid morning levels - tYPE 1

[LWA]

I have been insulin dept for over 20 years so am not new to diabetes. The Issue i have at present is high mid morning levels (sometimes 16/17mmo/l at times) yet i wake up with 'perfect' levels! i have been injecting long enough to know that the insulin i have at breakfast is more than enough to balance with my food intake. I have heard of 'liver dumping' (glucose)but do not quite understand how to control this? i have also thought that my body may take longer to 'wake'..? however i am only 36, active and work for a living so do not laze around? i would be interested if anyone has any ideas /reasons

Welcome to the forum, LWA.

What do you normally eat for breakfast?
Also, do you drink a lot of caffeine at breakfast or during the morning?

Ino granary toast with marmite and poached egg (no sauce)
1 small glass juice
1 no tea (no suger) with no tea/cofee then till lunch as i drink water

Hi LWA,

Are you using the same injection site each day for your breakfast dose?

i inject top of arm or leg so normally between 2 sites but this does not differ at any other meal and i dont have high levels after lunch/dinner. Appreciate this is a difficult explanation but i have almost accepted it just 'happens'!? the other annoything issue is it happens approx 50% of the time, other days its fine! 'liver dumps', 'stress', body clock' whats to blame i dont know?
