[QUOTE="annamillhouse, post: 268930, member: 27171"] Long term reply to my own post for last year... with some new observations, for anyone else out there experiencing the same thing! 1. Taking the levemir just an hour earlier in the morning has helped, whilst keeping the evening dose at the same time (09.00 and 22.00) 2. Breakfast is essential! Now I know I've been told this hundreds of times, but I guess actually making the comparisons yourself helps... no breakfast can lead to BG shooting up, but a bowl of porridge made with full fat milk with (yes I know it's weird) a teaspoon of peanut or almond butter really helps... the fattiness of the milk and pb slow the carb spike from the oats, but somehow the intake of food halts the DP in its tracks 3. Obvious again, but walking to work or part of the way not only keep the BG low across the morning, but all day - it takes a while so it's not always practical, but I have my smoothest BGs all day if I walk 4 or so miles to work... until a month ago I would never have thought I could walk that far, but even a couple of miles is really helpful...
