[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 1982584, member: 352098"] Ryann1990, I think you are going to have to stick fairly rigidly to regular meal times and accurate carb counting to sort this out. You have said you have been frightened to eat much carb in the evening, but actually we are all more sensitive to insulin in the evening. The rise in your BS in the evening could be triggered by a failure to eat enough carbs to cover the insulin you have taken for the meal, as well as by eating too much carb for the insulin. Anxiety over keeping your levels down gets to most of us at times, but the levels you have are hardly life-threatening. Extra exercise etc may also increase how sensitive to insulin you are. I would get the evening meal right first.Test after one hour and keep testing every half hour or so to see what happens. Look at when the peak activity of Humalog(?) is and what happens before and after. Try again next day upping the carb count of the meal say 10g. Nobody can give an instant answer to your problem. You need to investigate it first and find the cause. Does an extra 10g of carbs make things worse or better ? [/QUOTE]
