BGs crazy variable
I got my Type 1 dx late last year, and am still trying to get basal and bolus MDI dosing straightened out. Recently my basal was lowered slightly (by just 1 unit) because I've been getting a drop overnight, but now I'm having trouble keeping my daytime BGs in line. Numbers are higher than I'd expect given the bolus coverage, and I'm often getting a significant *increase* between my 2-hr pp reading and a few hrs later before the next meal or bedtime. Is this likely a problem with basal insulin during the day, or is something else going on? Today after lunch and a moderate 40-min walk I was in the 90s; a few hours later BG was 170!
Any thoughts? Thanks!
Bobbie
