Spiking.

Last week we adjusted Jada's lantus because she had been consistently high through out the day but didn't touch the novolog.  We discussed with our CDE about what to do with the novolog and she said that if we felt like we needed to increase it, to go ahead and do it.  Well, I think we're heading in that direction, but I'm not sure.

About an hour and a half after she eats- and this happens every day- Jada asks for a drink of water.  She will guzzle 8-12 oz. of water- then of course I know she's high- usually in the 300's.  But by the time lunch rolls around at 11:00 or  11:30- she's within close range of her target number, which is 150.  Actually, she is quite often closer to 100.  Is it normal  to spike before the rapid acting insulin works?  Somewhat confusing, because I thought the whole point of rapid acting insulin was to ACT RAPIDLY!  Her numbers the rest of the day are pretty good and we've had more lows the last week than we have in a while.  

If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts....
