Increasingly realising that the smallest amounts of fat need a delayed insulin shot for me. For example. Counted the carbs with dinner last night (Had a lamb chop - was very fatty) injected full amount. After dinner 6.8, an hour later felt i was dropping a tad so stuck a couple of glucose tabs in my gob. Before bed predicted with the amount of fat (It was approx 40 g in just the lamb steak thing) Id wake up around 10 - 11mmol (Known through experience), so took a shot before bed (3 hours after eating) of 2.5u should drop me 5mmol as 1u = 2mmol drop at bedtime. Woke @ 4am tested at 6.8, woke at 7am to a 7.4mmol.

Im increasingly having to do this and consider a shot before bed for even slightly fattier meals. If your not confident with hypos I couldnt recommend and know its dangerous.. If my hypo awareness was not fully intact I wouldnt do this. So would either totally cut out the fat and accept the spikes or accept waking highs. Just thought Id share the way Im needing to deal with this problem at the moment!

Very interesting reading Benny. Have similar experiences, fine bedtime, then high in night or morning after say a Pringles treat in the evening like yesterday. 7.1 bedtime and woke 11.1. Was going to have extra bedtime shot to cover and will try that next time as hypo awareness very good. Ps. Posts stopped coming through a few days ago !?! and just catching up with them
 
Morning 10.1 and checked tester. Didn't do a bedtime text. Must have forgot somehow !?! and was obviously a bit high😡
 
3.8 for us. Hmm. He was 11.something at 2am, bolused a correction, must need to reduce nighttime correction factor a bit!
 
Well I woke up this morning to a 16.4!!

Had 2 hypos yesterday evening in the space of 2hrs!!

Tested before bed and I was 5.3 so I had a couple of dextro tabs just in case....

Corrected the 16.4 and I've already gone hypo this morning 😡
 
He's testing your patience I think ! I have days like that occasionally. Don't let him win. :D

It just really hacks me off! My bloods are so much better since I went on the pump - usually they're all single figure readings

Then this happens!! AArrggh!😡
