[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1246428, member: 240838"] I inadvertently had a morning fasting and it was a disaster. My morning fasting bs is always good but 3 hours after I eat I pop up about 25-30 points. Steady for 2.5 hours then bam. So I decided to set the timer for 15 min and see how long it took for my bs to start lowering and then I would eat. Hoping this would prevent the jump by timing my insulin better. Well after 3 hours of testing every 15 min and bolusing 1/2 unit very 1.5 hours my bs still never came down. Finally I are my regular BF and yup, went down. My issue is more the fact I always have higher readings at 3 hours but steady until then. I can't take more insulin or I will go low first. I wish I could find a way without splitting boluses. I end up taking a half unit around 2.5-3 hours to correct. Lunch and dinner are fine. I do find a small alcoholic nightcap with a small protein fat snack stops the DP. [/QUOTE]
