Diabetes: Dreamfields Question.../Barb

>I have not gotten used to using a correction dose yet.<

It's easier than figuring out how much to shoot in the first place. If I am higher than I want to be at 2 hours, I take a small dose of insulin, figuring that about 50% of the insulin I took beforehand is still active in my system. It will be helpful to you to figure out what sort of a drop in bgs 1 unit of insulin creates. In my case, one unit drops me roughly 4-5 points, but that's over the course of nearly five hours.
Since it took me a long time to figure out my ratio, due to my bgs being very unpredictable, I will hope that someone whose bgs are more regular than mine may have some advice for you.
