I normally wake with perfect levels (between 4-6) and start work at 8am 'prior' to having insulin/breakfast at 9.30am. My problem is that 'before' i do my pre breakfast injection my blood will already have risen from anywhere between 8-10. As a result my mid morning levels remain high (Sometimes peaking at 16) prior to dropping to normal around mid-day. i use Novorapid and inject 20/30 mins before eating!
My observations/Theories are as follows but ANY HELP WOULD BE MOST USEFUL?:-
1) i've heard of liver dumps but can't accept this happens the same 'most' days?
2) Could 'stress' in first 1.5 hours at work be the cause.....if so i think i will quit work!!??
3) I use currently use 33units Levimir at night.....does anyone believe changing to lantus may help?
4) Could eating nearer to injection time possibly help?
5) Does insulin 'generally' absorb slower in the body at mornings rather than other periods of the day
For information i inject 10 units of Novorapid and only comsume 1no toast, poached egg and very small glass of natural orange juise so i cannot really accopt that i need to increase morning insulin?
