Breakfast trouble.

[zelack]

Argh. So for the past few days, my normal breakfast (1 cup Greek yogurt, 3/4 cup Kashi GoLean, 2 ounces berries, TBS all-natural peanut butter--about 40 carbs altogether, most of which is fiber, though I bolus for the fiber too) has been spiking me whereas before it never did. I wake up pretty low no matter what (usually in the mid-eighties, sometimes 60--but if I lower my basal at that time is goes too high). An hour after eating I test and am 125 about, which is okay with me. At the two-hour mark, though, I hit 180. Should I up my already very high basal at that time of day--it's different from the one I wake up with, and I seem to have the most insulin resistance at that time--or is the high just an effect of waking up low and my body pouring glycogen into my system? I'm just confused because this hasn't happened ever before...like today I upped the basal a bit, bolused more for the same amount of carbs, and yet ended up the exact same number as when I was taking much less.

I'm bummed because it's the perfect easy breakfast for me, keeps my hunger tied over, and used to not spike me at all. I hope it's not that I can't eat this anymore. :( What should I do? It's alarming that I wind up the same number as yesterday after adding so much more insulin.

How long have your numbers going off the "norm" for you?
Is it just your meal in the AM that is doing this?
It could be that you may be coming down with something, cold/flu. Most of us can tell this by our BGs before we start experiencing the symptoms.

If this has been going on longer then a few days, then I would adjust my bolus, if this were me.

It just started the other day after several flawless ones. It just happens in the morning; at night and through the afternoon, I'm normal-to-low (not severely).

Hi Zelack, one reason for your high after breakfast is perhaps the result of the low in the morning. The first thing I would do is get that sorted out. The fact that you didn't have this before would suggest to me that it's a rebound from the low before breakfast. Have you considered this? Being low when you wake up is not good, and I would definitely concentrate on fixing that, which in turn may solve your problem.
