[QUOTE="-Artemis-, post: 617394, member: 89325"] Hey [USER=115728]@ArtemisBow[/USER] - I'm a fellow newbie too - so only going by what I've learnt so far too... but... I think you may have "stacked" your doses... ? I did the same (on my first day on insulin!) and so now never correct any miscalculations until at my next meal - which is usually around four hours later anyway - by which point I know that most of the last dose is out of my system... It does sometimes mean I see double figures two hours after my meal - especially around my period - but it's almost always back into single figures by the next dose anyway. Here's a thread that talk about stacking which may help: [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/stacking-insulin.55568/#post-586961[/url] Also, have you worked out your correction ration? ie how much 1 unit will bring your personal blood sugar down...? This also helped me too when figuring out how to much to adjust on my next dose. Lastly - depending on what you're eating - and to some degree, your make-up, you may just be digesting foods slower... I eat low-ish carb and high-ish fat - so my spike is often at the two hour mark, instead of the one hour that they tell us it should be... which was alarming at first until I realised what was happening... Hope some of this helps :-) [/QUOTE]
