Hi, I think you will need to provide us with more information. When do you inject your background insulin and what dose do you take. Do you inject your
background insulin one or twice a day. Also one high reading is not necessarily a problem does it happen every day ? This is why the key to DAFNE is recording
your BG before every meal and looking for patterns.
Welcome to the site by the way, its good to have graduates posting from Singapore Smile

A weeks diary of your blood glucose/cps will help more but from what you have put I can see a problem with your lunch, you put down that your blood glucose was 4.4mmol/l you had 4.8cp and you took 5units of QA plus 1 when you should have had 4.8cp plus 1cp and 5 units of QA also you could try having a carb free lunch for a couple of days and seeing what your blood glucose results are.
