BG levels after meals
How much does your BG spike after meals? I know a little bit of a spike is normal, but frequently my BG will go up 100 (example - I was 141 at lunch and just tested and was 254) or more within 2 hours of eating. However, if I do not give myself insulin, it typically comes back down to normal levels by my next meal time. (I will usually test it 45 minutes later to see if it's come down and if not, will give myself a unit or two, but usually it has come down).
I am on Lantus (32 units in the am, 12 at dinner) and Apidra (Correct 1 unit every 50 over 100, carbs as follows: B - 1:12, L & D 1:10).
I am thinking maybe I should increase my Lantus? Or should I take more Apidra at meals? I really want my numbers to be as steady as possible (Want to have a baby w/in a year) and the in between meal numbers are concerning me. However, my fear with increasing the Apidra with meals is that I'll drop in between.
I have an endo appointment next month, just wondering what you all think and what your normal spikes are.
Last A1c was 7.8, down from 8.9, 9 months ago. Really trying for below 7.0
