[QUOTE="cz_dave, post: 1012684, member: 177195"] The same here. I have shifted any exercise to evenings. Like I wrote, my morning BS rise can hardly be described as a spike as I would go typically from 5.2 to just under 6. When I am coping well, I remain at 5.6 or I may go to 5.8. I am well aware that these numbers could be described as normal and I owe them to my honeymoon period and low-carb breakfast. When I would eat a carb-based breakfast, I would instantly hit 8-9 mmol even with increased bolus. So, for me, what's interesting, is the regularity of the morning BS rise and its independence of food that I eat. Also, it is not that the spike is high but rather its persistence - I can stay at 5.8 for a couple of hours without an obvious reason. Normal for me is at the lower level of 5, typically 5.2. I would not say that the lower I start, the higher I spike. But if I am stressed out in the morning, my BS definitely goes higher than normal. As for coffee, I think it should not raise your BS. However, someone noted that too much coffee in the morning could put your liver into motion and have it dump even more glucose into your bloodstream. I currently take 4 units of Levemir and bolus just one unit of NovoRapid immediately before I start eating. I would eat appprox. 10g carbs for breakfast, 15g for lunch and 20g for dinner. My current diagnosis is T1 in honeymoon. You? [/QUOTE]
