Hello everyone,
I have a question around insulin sensitivity and open to anyone’s experiences on how they help manage it or general ideas to what has helped? (Other than increased diet and exercise)
My experience as I am getting older and family/children take up a lot of my time (young children) my diet and exercise is not as great as I would like, let’s say. (Something I am working on..)
I find in the morning if I eat anything from porridge, cereal to anything as bland as a slice of toast and butter. I find I get a large spike in my sugar level where it will shoot up to 15 or so then come back down in a couple of hours time where the insulin has then worked. So I end up feeling a bit rubbish for a couple of hours.
I have tried having corrections and it’s not due to not enough insulin because I end up going low if I try correct. It’s not the background as I have tried carb free breakfasts and it’s fine. It’s not the timing of injections as I always have the insulin just before I eat my breakfast.
It’s definitely the mornings I struggle more with than any other part of the day and I find I don’t normalise until the afternoon.
I’m running out of ideas and I’m putting it down to insulin sensitivity.
I also drink coffee in the morning not sure if this effects it…?
P.S I have tried different injection sights.
Thank you!
