I'm sure there's more.
Bananas are bad.
I'm going to assume this is for breakfast. I'm on Fiasp now instead of Novorapid but I used to need my pre-bolus for a breakfast like this at least 30 minutes in advance. If you already pre-bolus you could try 5 minute increments to see what works for you?Yeah, well I bolus 5-10 before hand. There's no problem going low, it's mostly back to the point I started before eating, just the spike between meals. I could try bolusing sooner, but I think I'll try different options.
Will have a go with the peanut butter, and also maybe add some walnuts chopped up to add some more crunch. If it works, great, less carbs too.
Only if you eat them greenBananas are bad.
Excellent, thank you. I'll give a go at swapping out banana for peanut butter. If no luck, I'll try increments of 5mins for pre bolus@JoeT1 . Apologies I miss read/ understood what you said.
If you're confident pre bolusing then you could try extending the time some more.
It could well be the banana that's largely to blame for the spike in your sugars.
Hope you find a solution.
I have porridge every morning before I go too work I always microwave the porridge for 2 minutes in a bowl of milk I then add a touch of honey, a little cream and a splash of malt whiskey. I feel great and it keeps me going until lunchtimeI always have porridge for breakfast. I want to make my porridge sweet in the morning. I could use sugar, honey, jam or syrup. But I don't know if I should or not??
What would you recommend?
I exercise regularly and my hba1c is below 40.
I have type 2
Thanks
I find I test OK with porage made with jumbo oats and water, topped with plain yoghourt, small banana, mixed seeds and goji berries, and a big spoonful of hemp protein and lecithin granules to keep the cholesterol ratios good - a real winner for me!Sends me sky high.

Noticed since I got the Libre that having 40g of porridge (25g carbs) and half a banana chopped in (15g carbs) absolutely rockets my bg levels over the first couple of hours, before dropping drastically back down to where I started.
Think I'll have to give something else a try, which is a shame as I'm a fan and it keeps me full until lunch
Sounds like your basal may need adjusting xSounds like good plans. I guess this is one of the beauties of the Libre, I can see those spikes and now can work towards working with them, rather than eliminating food straight away.
I'm also seeing through the Libre the spike I'm seeing overnight, bs rising 3-4.5mmol, it's a consistent rise from about 2am onwards.
Sigh. Im sure a little humour won't prevent him getting the information he seeks.Sigh. As a fairly recently diagnosed T1 I'd think it's more helpful to try and give Joe ideas based on our personal experiences of how he could manage bolus for the breakfast he chooses than tell him a banana is a bad choice full stop.
That isn't going to help towards the goal of managing his T1 so that he can live a normal life.
