| Fast-Dropping Morning BGLs
I have a question about morning BGLs - any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated! In the morning, after breakfats, my BGLs drop extremely rapidly. However, first they go up sky-high. So two hours after breakfast, I can be anywhere from 250-400 (so I spend these two hours feeling horrible). But then, they fall extremely rapidly - sometimes as much as 150 points in 45 minutes. By 11:00 a.m., I end up having to eat a snack to prevent/correct a low. I take Lantus in the morning (15 units). My basal rate is correct, as my fasting BGLs are between 100-120. Each morning I eat a bagel with cream cheese (60 grams carbs), and my carb ratio is usually about 1:15. I have DP, so I wake up high - but even so I usually only take 4 units of Humalog with breakfast. I can't figure out why this is happening, or how to correct it. If I take less Humalog, my BGLs get dangerously high in the first two hours after breakfast. If I take more, I get hypo even earlier. Has anyone experienced anything like this, or does anyone have any ideas of what I can do?
