Okay, so I want to make this a very detailed thread because I swear i’m going to lose my mind if I don’t figure out what is going on.
I will start with yesterdays food, insulin and reading and follow into today because i think the more information available the easier it is for someone to help.

I am so confused why it’s like my Novolog isnt working and then in early morning it’s like it all kicks in and I go low. This is a similar pattern daily and I go to the gym 7 days a week.
