| Gary, same boat here. Some things I've tried are
- super-bolusing. I borrow my late morning basals and include it in my bolus. I found my Humalog bolus extends the 6.5 hrs John Walsh claims it does, and this does have some impact.
- I bolus 1/2 hr early in the mornings now. I thought it would make a big difference, but it's only marginal.
- Low GI foods help some, but not that much in the mornings. I like my breakfast too.
- If at all possible, I spread my breakfast out. If I have fruit or juice, I'll have it an hour or so late if I can.
- Get an early read on your DP. If I'm high in the mornings, I don't just correct for it, I also up my bolus to prevent my next high. That first test is very often an indicator of how my whole morning will go. I make sure to follow up with tests, especially the hour before lunch.
I may also try Apidra soon. |
