I am considering trying Apidra in the morning to see if I can combat these spikes, pre-bolusing doesn't seem to work (although not extensively tested it yet) and I don’t trust that I will snack with a super bolus. My breakfast is muesli (homemade) with milk. Anyway enough about me, maybe you are experiencing spikes which are raising your A1c in the morning and combining that with a high waking BG could be messy. Just an idea.

i put myself off the pre-bolus when i took it to a silly extreme - ended up on the floor in a big heap....i need to try it again with more sensible time parameters!
