[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2290609, member: 140811"] Many T1's find bolusing for breakfast difficult. I tend to use a higher insulin ratio for breakfast than I do for lunch or evening meal. I also don't eat cereal often because my insulin (Humalog) doesn't seem to cope well with the resulting rapid spikes in glucose. I do find that porridge is a bit easier to deal with as it seems to be a little slower to digest - something I learned from other forum members a few years ago. Generally I don't go above 30g at breakfast - so a microwavable sachet of porridge is about right - and I find this easier to cope with. Have you tried other foodstuffs at breakfast, a bagel or toast? What affect do they have? Also, have you checked your sweetener (I have no idea what you're using of course), as some of them have dextrose in. [/QUOTE]
