I have been having trouble with this for a few months. I eat 3 Weetbix for breakfast with skim milk, which is low GI and is approximately 2.5 exchanges. I tried only eating 2 exchanges for breakfast and the same thing happened.
This morning I woke up at 4.1mmol/L and 1.5 hours later I am 14.1. It’s really frustrating because when I increase the insulin, I end up dropping low 3 hours afterwoods but I can’t get rid of the spike.
When I wake up at about 6.0 it spikes to 17-18mmol/L.
I currently have 2.8units/exchange at breakfast, and only 1.5 at other meals. I have fasted over breakfast before and my basal rates were fine. I am only small, so I don’t think it is insulin resistance.
I did ask my endo but she couldn’t see a pattern in my blood sugars 🙁 I think it is having a big impact on my hba1c, which increased from an average of about 7.0 to 7.6
