[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1180187, member: 11028"] Hi Ruth and welcome to the forum :) Maybe you need to look at your insulin-to-carb ratio for your lunch, but before you do that it's worth doing a basal check to make sure the bg rise isn't due to insufficient basal insulin. Many of us find we have different I:C ratios from morning to night so it does vary from meal-to-meal, plus pre-bolusing ahead of your food reduces postprandial spikes so try injecting 10-20 mins before eating to see if this makes a difference, on average I bolus 20 mins before food unless the meal is high in fat.
