[QUOTE="LemonTree, post: 383120, member: 55912"] Wow Danlie! If you ever figure this out, I think you should write a book! Ok so you started today off high which is never great but I do think you might be over doing your long acting insulin. Can you take it down by one unit? I really think you have not yet got your long and short acting insulins balanced - apparently this is not easy when you're pregnant. Hormones eh? :roll: Now I'm not pregnant (yet) but I'm finding porridge gives me a huge spike an hour after eating but by lunch it's fine again - very frustrating. I'm starting to think porridge is not a good thing to have first thing but I'm loathed to give it up because it's really reduced my cholesterol. I don't understand why I can have the same amount of carb at lunch as for breakfast and I don't get spikes after lunch - weird! I think you should try eating a really low carb meals - particularly when you have a pattern of having highs and then lows very quickly say in the morning. Any moving about you do between breakfast and lunch is probably helping to keep your sugars down then. It is all trial and error and it is frustrating when no two days or even meals are different but try not to get too worried about highs. You're really not going that high. And try not to give your Diabetes Care Team a hard time, the more I understand of diabetes (yes, after 14 years I'm actually properly taking note of it) the more I realise that you really do have to put in a lot of effort yourself and your care team can only really mull over your readings and offer advice. You never know - maybe being pregnant has reignited something in your pancreas and it's started producing a bit of insulin!* * No scientific evidence to back this up, it was just a random suggestion... :wink: [/QUOTE]
