Re: [IP] Morning highs from high fat, protein laden meals
Happens to me too. No, not the business trips. Though I think my stomach feels
like it is on trips when having to digest so much food. I also wake up with some
highs in the 200's and 300s sometimes. I think it has to do with the liver
dumping most of the time, and the food we ate prior to. It is hard to calculate
all this, you are right. We just have to make try our best. at times we will be
in the normal range, and other times not.

I have been on a lot of business trips the past month, and am having a problem
with morning highs - only when I am out of town.
I go to bed less than two hours after the end of dinner. My pump says I have
enough insulin on board. I wake at midnight, check, and am either on target or
just need a small correction. Then I wake at 6 AM with BGs over 200.
This is very frustrating.
I am tempted to take a square wave bolus in anticipation of the high, but am a
little afraid of lows because it is impossible to calculate how much to take,
or
to know how much my meal will affect me.
I am very curious what you do to avoid this problem.
Thanks for your ideas,
Linda
