[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 1168583, member: 138639"] I agree with above - there is a good chance that you need to bolus much longer before eating. I find that if i bolus and eat right away - my sugars spike as if I had not taken insulin at all (which is right, because it hasn't started working yet) and then when it does start working my sugars are so high that it requires more insulin to bring me back to normal because when your sugars are high enough you will likely develop some resistance to insulin. So i have to bolus again 3 hours after the first one and then watch them constantly to ensure they come back down :/ Its a pain. This could be whats happening to you, especially if you are eating higher carb meals. Try bolusing 20-30 minutes before eating , and then eating slowly - see if that helps any. [/QUOTE]
