[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 176554, member: 16982"] Just wanted to add Jessie, I have been experimenting with pre injecting this week to avoid those spikes, as I am in the last stages of pregnancy my insulin resistance is sky high! I have been pre injecting 10 units 10 mins before the meal (at the moment this is the mimimum I'd take with a meal) then if I need to inject any more I do this at the end of the meal. It is sometimes hard to predict how much I will eat as my stomach is all squashed up now to accomodate the pregnancy and my appetite is erratic! So far, not too many problems and I wish I had thought of this earlier as it does seem to avoid the spike. However I do test before I eat and if I'm really low say in the 4s then if I'm having a low GI meal this may mean the insulin works before the food so I might not do it then, or only take 5u. Its a fine art trying to match the action of the insulin to the action of the food, and I'm not sure that once my insulin resistance goes post pregnancy I'll need to do it, but it is working for now AC [/QUOTE]
