[QUOTE="Circuspony, post: 2589866, member: 432241"] If it's jumping up after eating then there's a couple of things to do. If a meal is a bit more carb heavy then I take my insulin earlier - say 20 mins before eating (providing I'm not too low). I'd also query if she's really taking the right amount of insulin for that particular meal if it's causing a big rise. Remember not all carbs are created equal. Rice is straightforward for me but the same grammes of pasta has a totally different effect. How many hours after the meal are you checking the 4-7 zone? Keto diet and a tummy ache would concern me. Do you have ketone testing strips? [/QUOTE]
