Doesn't seem to matter whether i eat low gi or high gi, the insulin in the morning is just not doing it's job. It doesn't seem to work properly til about 2 or 3 in the afternoon when a 2:1 ratio seems to be effective.Moonstone - I like the theory but don't think this can be it, as i do vary my injection sites but don't get this problem later in the day and I'd see this happen every time I injected in that site if that was the case. No, it's definitely the pregnancy which is at the root of it, but two months to go and then I can hopefully go back to some semblance of normality.I think i'm going to do two things a) eat a lower carb breakfast, and have a snack mid morning which I don't inject for (as the night time basal is so high, will make me hypo before lunch if I don't)b)see about going on a pump which will mean I am not committed to the basal rate for 24 hours as I currently am with lantus.The other thing I thought I could do was to do some exercise after breakfast, not really possible whilst I am working but I finish work at christmas (hurray!) and then I'll have  a lot more control over when /what I eat and when I test.</blockquote>
