[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2292586, member: 525950"] I blame morning spikes on insulin resistance. Between your last meal from the previous day and breakfast on the next day your body goes into fasting mode and your ketones slightly elevate, I don’t know if there’s a scientific basis for it but whenever my body is burning fat it becomes very resistant to insulin. My carbohydrate ratio is the same for all three meals of the day but for breakfast my NovoRapid takes ages to work, once I had to wait as much as 1.5 hours and was scanning Libre every 20 minutes to see if my blood sugar has even budged by 0.1 mmol/L so I can start eating. First and foremost I think your basal should be dealt with because without a correct basal nothing else will work. You could have a carb-free lunch and see if your BG remains around the same between breakfast and dinner. Next step would be checking carb ratios. NovoRapid is said to last 3-5 hours so check your blood sugar 5 hours after injecting and see if you need more insulin, if you do then you should change your ratio. Correct me if I’m wrong, Ready Brek is a super-processed fine porridge, someone once told me, the smaller your oats are grounded the quicker they are digested. Try something with steel cut oats and avoid anything that requires a lot of cooking as cooked foods are digested more rapidly [/QUOTE]
