[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2361647, member: 527103"] A few thoughts - could the rise you see in the morning have little to do with what you eat but more to do with "Foot on the Floor" (your liver dumping glucose when it notices you getting up in the morning? Some people find they just have to give themselves a "correction bolus" to countreract this - have you tried a carb free breakfast to see what the affect is? - have you tried pre-bolusing earlier for breakfast. Many of us are more insulin resistant first thing in the morning. - you are relatively new to Type 1. Some of the inconsistencies could be due to the honeymoon period. For me, I found my insulin requirements rose very slowly over the first 8 years of my diagnosis so I assumed my honeymoon period lasted this long - it is certainly longer when diagnosed later in life. My honeymoon period was pretty straightforward but some find their pancreas occasionally splutters into life for a while and then goes back to sleep again. This makes working out insulin doses even more of an art than usual - when do you take your basal? Are you seeing your basal run out before your next dose? Sorry, nothing concrete there but a few ideas that could be worth investigating (if you haven't already) [/QUOTE]
