[QUOTE="scotteric, post: 1945737, member: 453103"] Are you sure your basal dose is correct? There is a relationship between basal and food, even though the conventional thinking is that basal is for fasting and rapid-acting insulin for meals. Sometimes if my basal dose is too low, I can have reasonable fasting numbers but see huge spikes every time I eat. Sometimes it's just an extra basal unit or two (or a small increase per hour if you pump) that does the trick. Remember basal needs are not constant; I find many things can cause my basal needs to increase, including change in weather, stress levels, quality of my sleep, activity levels, etc. [/QUOTE]
