[QUOTE="jameshallam, post: 174795, member: 23748"] I have similar problems with spikes, esp. after breakfast. I can be 6 before breakie, take 4 units for 40g of carbs @ 7am. @9am I'll be up at 13ish, by midday I'll be at about 4-5. If I up it then I have a hypo! What I do sometimes is pre-inject for a snack mid-morning. So I inject 5 units with my 40g breakfast. Then at 10am (ish), I test, and if I am on my way down (5-7) then I have a biscuit to tide me over until lunch... The problems with this method is remembering to have the snack. I have been sidetracked by various things and forget to eat then will have a hypo. If you KNOW you will remember to have a snack, then it's not a bad method... Personally I wouldn't inject 15 mins before... Maybe if I was a little high before hand, but not if I was within targets. [/QUOTE]
