Thanks for the replies again
Nora - I guess I could go with eating very low carb in the morning, but personally I'd rather not. I really enjoy a couple of rounds of toast and some fruit and whilst I occasionally go with the eggs it is not something I'd choose daily.
xMenace - Super Bolus in the UK? You do realise that we still prescribe a small poltice and a course of leaches for most things
Pumpers.....
I've tried the 1/2 hour early bolus, and whilst it helps a little it doesn't really do the trick. And having two kids, I tend to sleep for as long as I can and then it's breakfast so it's not that often that I get to give it a head start! It's certainly something I do when I can.
I try to eat as much low GI stuff as possible. Grapefruit contains around 15-20g of carbs and has a GI of 25, so it's low in terms of GI and GL. The bread I eat is always grainy, and typically has around 35-40g of carbs for the amount I eat. As I said earlier, most breakfast cereals finish me off as this little lot gets into me slowly by comparison
Due to the aforementioned kids, I'm quite often woken up at weird times of the night / early morning. It's not uncommon for me to test my BG just to see how it's going. And, since getting my basal right, it's tends to be bang on the same figure as when I have when I get into bed.
Good news is that I just had a telephone appointment with my GP who is leaving a prescription for Apidra at reception. I cannot get it until tomorrow afternoon as none of the pharmacies around here have heard of it. Special order only. At least I know it'll be fresh
