[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1761765, member: 32394"] I think your bloods prove not correcting for post prandial highs is the correct course: What would that 2.8 have looked like if you ha corrected at 9am, just two hours after your breakfast bolus of 2:10? Remember, if you are waking up hypo you have probably been hypo for a significant portion of the night. Your body will have tried to correct the hypo with a glucagon response, emptying your livers stocks of glucose and post hypo your body will be prioritising restocking your liver making you more vulnerable to hypos. The timing of your bolus is important. Novorapid takes about 20 minutes to work. If you bolus and then eat it is very likely carbs will be digested well befor the bolus starts eating. Then glucose surrounds your cells as you end up with high blood sugar and the insulin taken to deal with this needs to fight it's way through the crowds of glucose to get to the cells where it needs to be to start working. Gary Schneir explains well the impact of pre bolusing - [URL]https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/managing-diabetes/blood-glucose-management/strike-the-spike/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
