I am going to take the time in the next two weeks to observe how my body responds to the insulin.
I just have a question. 2 hours after breakfast I checked and was at 9.5 (i was 8.5 before the meal) and then two hours later when I was thinking of lunch I checked and I'd gone up to 14. This would mean that the bolus insulin worked to bring down my bg after breakfast but then stopped. So I'm just about to have lunch and will be starting from 14 in the future, am I right in assuming I'd need more insulin if I was to have the exact same thing I had for breakfast. I'm assumed logically I would need more because I'm starting off from 14 while in the morning I was starting off from 8.5. Also is th rising bg probably a sign that the basal may not be quite covering it through the day. It is ll so interesting. I know this is a super long thread and I appreciate any response anyone might have the time to make.
