[QUOTE="pinewood, post: 1110044, member: 147474"] A couple of thoughts crossed my mind: 1) 9 is still a little high, so I'd be inclined to at least take 0.5 to 1 unit of bolus insulin. 2) presumably you're not using CGM/FGM so, although you know you're below 9 two hours after eating, do you know for certain that you aren't spiking above 9 at any other time, e.g. at 1 hour or 3 hours? I've been T1 about 15 months now and I'm still in the honeymoon phase, my understanding is that anything you can do to keep your control as absolutely tight as possible will help to prolong it as long as possible; therefore skipping the novorapid may not be the wisest move if it's causing your pancreas to work over time and essentially "tiring it out" - obviously you don't want to inject if you're pancreas is already covering the insulin needs for you but definitely keep a close eye on it and watch out for creeping levels so that you can try to nip them in the bud.
