[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2691646, member: 53162"] Spikes are normal - we all get spikes even non diabetics, spikes become an issue when they don't come back into range 3-4 hours after eating, which indicates that not enough quick acting insulin was used. In regards to insulin/carb ratios, me personally, I cannot eat carbs before 12, I eat protein and low carb before lunch as insulin resistant, then after lunch and once more active I can tolerate carbs better as more active. I still have to take insulin for low carb/protein too as these convert to glucose. If levels aren't coming down gentle exercise as well as insulin corrections help me get them back into range.
