> BTW: does anyone else spike from eating bananas? I cant seem to bolus properly for them, and I dont want to give them up. I always have to give myself a correction bolus about 1.5 hours after finish eating one.

DM, did you know that the sugar content of a banana varies with how ripe it is?

As a banana ripens, the starch in it turns to sugar. So the more ripe it is, the more carbs it will have, and the more insulin you will need!
