Hi joined last week and finding this forum v useful :D

I was wondering if anyone could help me. Yesterday I tested my BG roughly 3 hours after lunch and I was 6.4, but then an hour and a half later I tested my BG before dinnerand I was 9.8.

Just wondering how this is happening as it happened again today. 2 hours after breakfast I was back to 5 (which I woke up at this morning) then before lunch I was 7.3.

I am on 3 injections novorapid (b4 break, lunch and dinner) (1-10 carb ratio) and lantus at night (6 units). Is it the insulin or the food I am eating? I have ideas but I just don't really know :!:

All replies appreciated :idea:

Thanks

Your post-meal reading on the 2-3 hour mark a fine, I would say it is your lantus that needs adjusting. Try increasing lantus by 1 unit and test over the next few days before adjusting again.

I have increased my lantus for the moment to check for changes.

Thank you both for the help :D

Remember to test over the next few days before adjusting again, it can take a few days for the changes to take effect.
