[QUOTE="Pat13, post: 2470984, member: 221806"] You certainly are trying hard. How long have been diabetic? The longer you are diabetic on insulin the more insulin resistant you become and your dose needs to be increased just to stand still! Exercise is helpful, but usually takes a few hours to kick in and also increases bs initially - or at least does for me. Also exercising before breakfast is recommended. Libre 2 is great, but it is a few minutes behind. Watch the trends. I tend to inject extra humalog if my bs goes above 13, supposedly fast acting (but can take up to 30 mins to work for me). I then check my bs quite often as I have lost my warning symptoms. I'm sure you know all this, sorry. Keep trying, diabetes is very personal and what works for one doesn't always work the same way for someone else. Keep testing a don't give up. Even after 53 years type 1 I am still learning...
