From the results it is obvious that your post lunch sugars are not controlled. It can be explained by lack of insulin on board to cover lunch time increase in the sugar levels. One advise is you can break your lunch in to 2. Making sure not increasing the amount of meals you take for lunch, take half of the meal at one time and the rest after a gap of about 2- 4 hours. Do check your post lunch levels 1 hour after the meals and see. If still no better you might need addition of lunch time insulin as well - this will be different from the novomix you are taking. Do discuss with a doctor before making any changes to insulin
