[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1234393, member: 32394"] Have you actually tested to see if porridge is spiking you - maybe test every half hour after you start eating to see if it's as bad as you are thinking it is. Yep, pre-blousing would probably be worth trying to avoid the spike from porridge, if you are getting one. I wouldn't start off with 30 minutes before though, experiment by bringing your injection forward 5 minutes at a time and see how that works. Here's some information on pre blousing / things to think about to avoid spikes - [URL]http://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/managing-diabetes/blood-glucose-management/strike-the-spike-ii/[/URL] Might be worth looking at ways to lower the GI of the porridge, so whole milk and proper oats. But I reckon pre blousing would be worth a try first to keep your favourite breakfast just as you like it :) [/QUOTE]
