Hello,
My morning readings have been good for a long time, but all of a sudden 2 hours after breakfast I am going to 14.3 or 11.3, today was 13.2 which is odd as I only started on an 8.3. I normally wake up on 5s or 6s though.
By three and four hours later I am still up on 9.9. Once it actually rose from a 2 hour check of 9.4 to a 3 hour check of 10.2. :? With corrections however I come straight down, except today...I then got a 10.2 after I corrected.
As I am on the pump I gave myself more morning basal, but this hasn't worked. I then changed the ratios aswell and this didn't work. I have the same breakfast as always and it used to be fine. This did happen once before though, but as soon as I changed basal it stopped. As it is is the holidays I am less active, I'm not walking to school and dancing isn't on, but this started happening a few days before the Easter holidays so it may not be entirely that. It is completely normal the rest of the day between 4-7 except sometimes I get a 3.8 from too much correction. I know I need more insulin in the mornings but do I now keep increasing the basal or the ratios or both ? :mrgreen:
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am just unsure about what to increase.
Thanks for any advice,
