[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1958635"] Welcome to the forum [USER=498565]@Emck[/USER] from a fellow Type 1. It sounds as if this is unlikely to be anything related to the porridge if you are experiencing the highs even when you don't eat anything. So, I would not be adjusting to a low carb option if I was you (with type 1, I have not found I need to do so provided I match the timing of my insulin appropriately). But, if you do, you will have to consider injecting for protein as some find this is necessary when they have little or no carbs. And if this is only a morning problem, it is unlikely to have anything to do with your sites or insulin. It sounds to me (not a doctor), a dawn phenomenon which is exacerbated by activity and maybe stress. I don't have a theory about why this could be getting worse in the last few months. Maybe a changing or splitting your basal insulin could help. The Lantus profile is not flat and doesn't last a full 24 hours (some people find it only lasts 12 hours) so the spike may coincide with Lantus "running low". Alternatively, if you are finding your basal needs are clearly different at different times of the day (and maybe different days of the week), you could be a candidate for a pump. [/QUOTE]
