[QUOTE="Patch13, post: 406105, member: 58178"] Hi Katie. I eat the following: Breakfast: homemade linseed crackers with cheese Lunch: linseed crackers with meat, salad with some kind of protein (eg meat, cheese) Dinner: courgette spaghetti with meatballs, low carb pizza, carbonara, curry (& lots more). For these I substitute grains for veg,eg with the curry I have cauliflower rice not rice. I adjust my insulin depending on the size of my meal (I weigh everything to work out the carb and protein in the food and then calculate based on this) Breakfast: 2.50u (I tend to eat the same everyday) Lunch: 0.60u- 1.50u Dinner: 2.50 - 4,50u My basal Is given by a pump and I'm currently adjusting these. I test before meals (& I'm trying to test after too but I'm not as good at this), before bed, before driving, before and after exercise. I agree with the other people who said it sounds like your basal is too high if you're low in the morning. I'm currently having the same issue (i don't know why my insulin requirements have dropped again but they have) so I am dropping my basal rates slowly till I can keep my sugar levels steady. In order to do this on the pump I am waking up every 2 hours to test. Annoying, but has to be done!
