Well I just did a fasting test this morning to just check that it's not my basal giving problems. My last meal was yesterday at 5.45, all I've had since then was a cup of tea with sugar at about 7.45 last night due to a mild low. I overshot more than I'd expect (low gi dinner...), and I was 7.2 (130) shortly before bed. I whacked in 2 units and woke up with a nice BG of 5.3 (95). Well, that was my first test at 8.30 but I'd been up a while. Honest
Since then, I've tested every 30 mins.
9.00 6.4 (115)
9.30 5.7 (102)
10.00 6.1 (110)
10.30 6.0 (108)
11.00 5.7 (102)
11.30 5.8 (104)
12.00 5.4 (97)
So the worst I had was a 1 point rise first thing.
As the basal seems spot on (IMO anyway) and I need 10u of insulin to cover 55g of carbs in this time period, what's the cause? At the back end of the day I'm on a 1:10 ratio and surely by that time the lantus would be running out too?
It just seems to me that my digestive system is far quicker than the insulin in me at this time of day.
