So I'm a relatively new Type 1, (10 months in as of tomorrow)and for the past few months I've been having issues with blood sugar spikes about an hour or two after eating. Lately it doesn't even seem…Continue

Carly replied to Tracy's discussion 'Are there any T1 happy with Omnipod?' in the group OmniPod Users
"I agree with everyone on here! I've had the Omnipod for about a year and it has made everything so much easier to deal with. Any pump will make management easier, but I love how discreet the Omnipod is (most people assume the PDM is just my…"

"Hey Iyaz! I and most people on this site have been right where you are today, so you're most definitely not alone! I'm a college freshman and I was diagnosed about 10 months ago, and I'll tell you what everybody else told me, which is…"

Jethro replied to Carly's discussion '1 Hour Spikes'
"That's a tough issue. I can relate. If I take 8 units and eat a pc of toast (18carbs) with peanut butter (7carbs) my blood sugar will spike between 170 to 250 while driving to work then will drop low after the long walk from upper parking lot…"

Black Llama replied to Carly's discussion '1 Hour Spikes'
"I'll echo the sentiments of the people here, you should take your insulin earlier to counteract the spikes. Also try adding more fiber and some fat into there as well. If I eat just a piece of bread that's 18g of mostly all carbs. Now if I…"

"Another issue you may want to consider is the glycemic index of your food: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index. You know this idea in concept: For instance, which food digests faster applesauce or broccoli? I have found that bananas are a…"

sebabella replied to Carly's discussion '1 Hour Spikes'
"I would suggest testing at 2 hours as oppose to 1 hour for a more accurate measure of how your blood sugar is reacting to food. Better yet if you're so inclined one day, test every hour after you eat and track over time how much your blood…"

still_young_at_heart replied to Carly's discussion '1 Hour Spikes'
"In addition to trying to manage the insulin you might try to eat more fat and protein with your carbs. Adding a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter to the slice of bread or eating a chunk of cheese with an apple (rather than a cup of applesauce)…"

"In addition to prebolusing, you might consider using the "super bolus." (Just do a search here on the site)."

Stemwinder replied to Carly's discussion '1 Hour Spikes'
"What insulin are you using? If your meal is spiking before your insulin you might try what pancreaswanted said and give it more lead time. Or you might ask your doctor to change to Apidra which acts a little faster and has a quicker peak than…"
Dec 15, 2012
Brian (bsc) replied to Carly's discussion '1 Hour Spikes'
"I agree with pancreaswanted. If you return to target properly at 3-4 hours after a meal, then the total bolus was right on target. A spike (or even a low) indicates a mismatch in the timing and/or profile of the bolus. Depending on the meal, you may…"

pancreaswanted replied to Carly's discussion '1 Hour Spikes'
"hi carly. how far ahead of your meal do you take your isulin? have you tried taking your insulin a bit earlier? i try to leave 25 or 30 minutes between insulin and meal. it seems to work better for me than the 5 to 15 minutes the cde advised."
