[QUOTE="Emck, post: 1959323, member: 498565"] [FONT=Arial]Thanks all for your helpful tips yesterday. I didn't manage to basal test last night as I hit the gym after work and that tends to decrease my insulin requirements - so it wouldn't have been a "normal" night. A little update in case it might be helpful for someone else. This morning I got up a little earlier and had breakfast before I left the house. I did notice a small rise in sugar in between waking and eating (from about 6 to 8) but my sugars have been a lot more manageable this morning. My post meal spike seems to have topped out at just over 10. So I maybe needed to increase the amount of insulin that I took (i did a 1:5 ratio and then topped this up on seeing the slight rise before eating so probably worked out at about 1.5:5 overall) or pre-bolused for longer (i took about 40 mins this time). I guess if I am eating at home then I could also try more low carb options as I would have the kitchen at my disposal and wouldn't face the wrath of my colleagues for eating boiled eggs in a small airless office! I'm going to try this again tomorrow and hope that it works as well! It could well be that my body needs fuel asap in the morning time or else it does a big glucose dump to compensate?[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
