Reyna's advice is always so good!! <br /><br />Is this the 1t time he's been high 2 hours after breakfast? Nate has a crazy high spike after breakfast so that high wouldn't be so unusual over here. Even with the Apidra it still takes him 3 hours to come down after breakfast. <br /><br />Good luck, Friend! I know how frustrating it can be!!LaLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278430665049354027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-70133158040285964372011-02-20T19:10:18.361-07:002011-02-20T19:10:18.361-07:00Remember he could still be honeymooning too. Stic...Remember he could still be honeymooning too. Stick to your 2 hour after eating number, if it's back where it should be then your carb ratio is right...you don't want to use basals for carb coverage or you'll get caught sometime when he doesn't eat! After Ellie went into the hospital and came home a few weeks back she had some lows that we haven't seen in over 6 months?! Like FREAKY lows that came out of NOWHERE! The Endo reminded me that inflamation is a factor when the pancrease is getting attacked and when inflamation is down, she has the potential to spit out insulin on her own. This can go on for a year or even 5 years for some! Suddenly 4 weeks after the hospital stay she has these breakfast spikes that are horrible high again!? Ugh! For Ellie if I can get her 2 hour after meal number right then I'm looking at the food she's eating and trying to pre-bolus or get the timing down with the food and the peak of insulin. You are doing very well d-mama, just take it week by week and you'll get your program going!

I say give him another week or so and see where he is at. If he is still running high then start cranking up settings. On the breakfast does he normally spike? Have you tried the super-bolus? Or you can try an extra 10% bolus...but, like you said....and you are on it...it may be some time for "tweaking" on a more permanent basis. <br /><br />Keep up the great work. You are on it. It is frustrating for sure.
