[QUOTE="SimonP78, post: 2668107, member: 556474"] If you're trending upwards it may take some significant time for the upward trend to be stopped and then you may then start crashing down, though what you describe sounds more like my "not doing anything until I suddenly have to" weekend mornings - I will sit and read the paper/a book/etc. and be stubbornly high (and keep taking insulin, which won't do much, and not eat breakfast, etc) until the point that I do need to do something (like my children decide they want to go out, etc.) and then all the insulin on board will suddenly become effective and I'll drop through the floor. The way I combat this is to make sure I don't spend too many mornings sitting around without much to do (I'm not suggesting this is what you do!) - I appear to have quite a contrast in my insulin sensitivity depending on what/whether I'm doing anything. I wonder if you have something similar? In my case something as simple as a short walk (or quick 10min on the turbo trainer, or doing the vacuuming, etc) is enough to make the insulin effective.
