[QUOTE="azure, post: 1176622, member: 39639"] I sympathise [USER=283154]@Norfnife[/USER] Diabetes is hard work even when things are going well, so it's tens times as hard when things aren't working. Have you tried a basal test to make sure your basal/background insulin is correct? Getting that right provides a firm foundation to build on. I understand why you're looking to reduce carbs, but you shouldn't go hungry : ( I eat moderate carbs and I bulk up my meals with plenty of veg as well as protein and fat. If you have time to post a thread with a day's meals, insulin and BS results that might be helpful. There are some great folk on here who can offer advice. One thought I have is timing of your bolus. I find bolusing in advance helps me stop the spike after meals. Eg for breakfast, if I time my bolus right I'm looking at a 6 two hours after rather than an 11. Certainly, investigating a change of insulin might be sensible too. [/QUOTE]
