Sugar Mamas, I need some help.

I cannot get my FBS numbers under 95 like my OB wants.  She keeps upping the insulin and nothing changes. 

Any tricks you have found that help with this?  I'd prefer not to keep upping the insulin when all of my other #s are fine. 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

    You can tweak your snack, but it is my personal experience that you cannot control your FBS.  If that is the shot they increase, it is my night time shot.  It is by far my biggest dosage for the day!

    Tweaking my snack helped me. I also found that I can't fast for more than 8 hours. If I went like 9, or even 8.5 my metabolism kicked in and started burning stored carbs and I'd get crazy high numbers.  Now I typically have a 30 carb snack, usually icecream and my numbers are around 80 on 2.5mg of glyubride - before I was getting like low 90s-100s when I was having a 15 carb snack and fasting for 9 hours
