Hello Sameer

If you feel as though you are having low bg level 2.5hrs after you eat breakfast, then at breakfast time, eat a bit more carbohydrate like 2.5 slices of bread instead of just 2. Eating more carbohydrate will stop the hypo as you are unable to adust the insulin dose. Unfortunately Novomix 30 will work fairly quickly. Abnother alternative is to eat a small biscuit 2hrs after breakfast as that will also stop a hypo too.
Do you know how much carbohydrate is in the slices of bread you are eating. Can you see the carb amount on the bread packet?
 
I really dont know how much cab let me check ... What do have in mind ???

Hi

If you reduce your morning dose of insulin, the hypo feeling after eating breakfast should stop, but, if you eat too much carb at lunchtime, your bg levels will go too high. Do you test your bg levels after eating lunch? Are they high?
 

Nothing wrong with the carb content of the slice of bread Sameer. You just need to eat a tiny bit more to stop the hypo feeling.

Hi Sameer,

Bread can vary from 7g carb per slice to more than 20g, so yours is one of the lower carb varieties. As others have said, as you can't adjust your insulin dose to match the carbs then you will need to increase the carbs to match the insulin. Try an extra half slice and see how that goes, then a full slice if a half doesn't do the trick. If the extra carbs start adding extra weight then you might consider asking your GP if you can be switched to basal/bolus injections, where you inject only the amount of insulin needed to cover what you have eaten.

Hi Sameer

A bg level of 124 2hrs after eating your lunch is 6.9mmol. I would think that you should eat a small snack like an orange or small banana, or apple. If you dont eat a snack like a piece of fruit or even 1 biscuit, you will probably find yourself feeling low bg levels before you eat your evening meal. This is the way insulin like twice daily works. You need to eat carbohydrate in the correct amounts (by doing bg tests) so that your bg remains within desired levels.

What amount of carbohydrate are you eating for lunch. Does it contain a lot of fat?
 
No i eat chicken and 2 chappati , roti ..... Lol i hope u know what is that .... Sometimes vegetables , i dont eat rice , dont eat patato , no sodas !!!

Sameer the bg level of 124 is in normal range but if you chose to not eat a snack, you will need to test your bg levels within 3hrs of eating food just in case your bg level starts to go low. If you dont go low and your bg level remains at 124, then that is good.

Thanks alot
