[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1345346, member: 32394"] If your insulin doesn't completely stop 2 slices of toast from raising your blood sugar, that doesn't mean your insulin isn't working. If pre meal you were 14.3, you bloused 14 units and then immediately ate around 30g of carbs a rise to 15.6 isn't anything unusual suggesting the bolus isn't working/has gone off. In fact a rise of only 1.3 at 2 hours after eating would suggest your insulin is working just fine. If it were me, I would have bolused for the food and done a correction for the 14.3 reading and then waited until my blood sugar had actually corrected and was at least under 7 before eating. If you think you're sugars are inclined towards rising basal testing and adjustments to your basal dosage is the way to go.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
