[QUOTE="sgc, post: 1198623, member: 102907"] Lots of helpful comments to try to assist. I will add some if I may. Your fasting blood sugar levels should be around 6 approx before breakfast. If not you will have high blood sugars throughout the morning. Try this: get up early - 4 or 5 and test. If high and yours will be then inject some insulin. Don't test again for at least an hour( that is how long you need to give the insulin to start working.) Your aim is to get your sugar levels between 5 and 8 pre breakfast. Now if your levels are up around ten or more you really don't need food for breakfast. It's simple you need to lower your blood sugars and adding more fuel means you will need yet more insulin. In drug users terminology you are chasing the rat! So cut down on fuel and aim to get your levels down by using enough insulin. People will tell you you are using too much or not enough. My first consultant told me to ignore them. His motto was you need as much insulin as necessary!!!! [/QUOTE]
