I have just been reading the breakfast cereal thread. I have learned a lot from this forum about spikes and the effect of different carbs. When I started I was told the best breakfast is porridge and I have eaten it with fruit for years. I do seem to have a lot of spikes and hypos at different times but have put it down to my poor carb counting. Also forgetting to inject. I have done a type one education course.
I see now that I need to test more often, make allowances for fat content and even stagger my injections. And I don't need carbs with every meal
So should I take the amount of insulin I think I need then just test every hour to find out the effect of different foods. This maybe why my hba1c is so high. I always come out of the clinic feeling i must try harder.
All the info on here is much appreciated.
