[QUOTE="ert, post: 2384860, member: 504712"] Injected insulin is not like a normal person's insulin and follows a fixed curve over 5 hours. You are eating carbs which mean you will spike as injected insulin doesn't match your food. In your graph, your blood sugars came back down after 5 hours so the dose looks correct. On the DAFNE course, I completed their advice is to ignore the spike after eating and check your blood sugars have returned 5 hours after eating. If they have returned, you should be happy. The main way to avoid the spike is not to eat normally, to eat low carb which is what I choose to do. I also walk for 30 minutes after eating which helps too. This is a good carb counting course: [URL]https://www.bertieonline.org.uk/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
