[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1465614, member: 240838"] It took me awhile to figure this out as I rise from the time I get up until about 1 Correction boluses or not eating only make things worse for me. I rise even higher and insulin acts like water. What I do now is take my bf bolus and eat my avocado and celery. Then an hour later I take a small bolus. Then 2 hours after that another small bolus. This system keeps me very steady and heads off the rises. If I take it all at once I hypo then hyper so splitting my morning into 3 injections has worked great. Of course nobody wants extra injection snut it feels better than the rollercoaster. It took months of testing to find wham my rise begins and it's literally one exact hour after my first bolus and then 2 after that bolus. I take 1/2 unit for the extra ones. I did an experiment a few months ago to see when insulin kicked in and then I would eat. It NEVER kicked in for over 3 hours and by then I had taken a whole days worth of my insulin. So for me not eating is worse. I also cannot eat carbs for bf. Just fat so avocado works best though I still get a slow rise. Hope this helps. It works for me but may not work for you. Test test test. The smaller doses spread out are much less stressful on my body than larger doses all at once. We are all different though. [/QUOTE]
