What I am saying is, skip LUNCH--don't EAT. I know, it sucks. But you are meal bolusing for lunch, right? In theory, if you are not going to eat lunch, you don't need to bolus for it. If you skip lunch, you can get a better idea of whether your basal insulin is indeed too much in the late afternoon, or if maybe your bolus insulin lingers longer for you than the "typical" four hours. As it is, we have no idea which of the two are affecting your sugars to knock them down later in the afternoon...

Bingo, Duck. (Sorry Mods, feel free to combine my posts.)

Yeah, it's definitely lunch I need to try skipping. I'm going to do that when my schedule's back to normal. I assume I can still eat non-carb foods? Chicken or something? Otherwise I'm afraid I'll pass right out in the afternoon.
