If I was 160 I would walk, and test. If it's within range at the two hour mark I'm usually okay for the remainder of the afternoon. It's being below 140 that's a problem. If I'm below 140 and not going to be very active I usally eat two tablespoons of peanut butter, and it will hold it steady. If I'm going to be really active I add some crackers to that. Today I was 75 two hours after lunch and I had an awesome mochaccino latte....I was 120 at dinner, so I think I've found a new cure!!
It sounds like your morning Levimar (sp) may be too much...I take my Lantus in two doses, and the peak I get from the am dose is what causes my afternoon problems. I may end up having to lower it at a point, but it's at least managable. Having to be a 250 to keep from going hypo is way too much.
