Yeah, that sounds about right- 1/2 a day. My worst numbers are right after dinner too- as so many of you have admitted. Iām not really sure why. Maybe my Levemir is starting to wear off at that point?
Iām okay with it. It just means an extra injection to bring it down later. No biggie, I guess.
Hey Marps,
In the evening people tend to be more insulin resistant. Also usually the largest meal of the day & when weāre least active. I have a different 1:C ratio to deal with dinner, not that it always works:) In case this applies to anyone else, I found out I have gastroparesis. All day my numbers will be good, but was having spikes 40+ .hours after dinner. Taking a larger bolus didnāt work because then Iād have lows two hours after dinner. My endo said that gastroparesis is most apparent in the evening because of larger meals & less physical activity. He also said that many more diabetics have gastroparesis then is realized.
I have been trying to get in 1/2 hour of exercise every day which usually happens just before or after dinner, so I am having to adjust my 1:6 carb ratio. I seem to be more resistant at breakfast. I do take Levemir twice a day and we are starting to tweak the 2 doses so Iām hoping for more stability.
Of course Dr. Bernsteinās premise seems to hold trueāthe more carbs I eat, the more likely I am to go too high or too low from my dose of Novolog. So I have been trying to stay around 40 carbs or less at each meal, and I only eat 12 grams at breakfast.
I donāt know, 1/2 a day would be pretty optimistic an estimate for me. But it does feel fantastic to be āin the zoneā when it happens, doesnāt it?
I love the zone, wish it lasted longer. If I donāt eat I am fine. 
This was actually my doctorās advice at my last visit. After studying my numbers, he looked at me and said, āWell to have great blood sugars all you need to do is not eat.ā
So true. 
I was celebrating a great weekā¦ until a few days ago, my meter AVERAGE went up by 40 points in the last week.
Wow, this thread sent me on a little thought boomerang! First I read the question and thought, ācool question, Iāve been doing much better latelyā. Then I started to check my book and realized my own answer was 2 days was the record (the norm more like 1/2 day). Then I got all depressed. Then I read all of your responses including some of you long-term/good control people and realized I was doing a pretty average job. Whew!
when i was in my honeymoon phase
i would have good numbers [double-digits]
everyday until bedtime, usually 130ish if not higher.
