This is still a new diagnosis for you and a LOT to take in. Even after 25 years I struggle ( not in the best place with it right now but it will pass) and there sure are times when nothing makes sense.I am wondering if you could still be in the honeymoon period and you are still producing some insulin naturally. Therefore things are going to be quite erratic for a while. I believe a C Peptide test will let you know if you are still making some of your own insulin.Have you tried not using a pre bolus, especially if your levels are 6 or below before eating? That way your insulin won't start working before your meal is being digested. Especially if you are eating really healthy, which it sounds like you are. The good carbs, protein etc will have slower absorption. I use the Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load to try and figure out how my meal will be digested.... and I say try... it is still a work in progress.Have you tried splitting your dose 40 / 60? I would say 'try not to stress ' but I know that is easier said than done! I am sure you will find a routine that works for you.</blockquote>
