Zoe replied to denise102206's discussion 'Help'"You just need to take into account the Insulin on Board. It depends on your Duration of Action; we all figure that a bit differently. I'm on Apidra and use 3 hours. So if, let's say I took a 3 unit correction. If it's been 2.5 hours I…"
acidrock23 replied to denise102206's discussion 'Help'"That would be stacking however if your dose was calclated very precisely, you should be where you'd want to be. If I'm heading down steeply, I might bolus for the dinner food and have a glass of something with a few extra carbs, beer,…"

If I took a correction at 3pm and would like to eat dinner with my family would that be safe to take more and eat or will that be called stacking and cause a low? It's been 2 and half hours. Blood sugar is 88 now and would like to eat but don't know if it's to soon since I took the correction.See More
Sarah Truex replied to denise102206's discussion 'Corrections'"correct with the meal, check an hour, 2, then thre after the meal again. Start doing that after a few meals and see if you can find a pattern with where you spike post meal, and adujst your bolusing acordingly - be it longer before eating, or…"

elizabeth.redman178 replied to denise102206's discussion 'Corrections'"Like Zoe said it's a judgement call. I personally would eat. but that's just me"
Zoe replied to denise102206's discussion 'Corrections'"Good question, but that's really a judgement call and dependent on your circumstances. If you are really hungry and/or it's time for your family to eat, then you can go ahead and compute your correction and add it in to your meal bolus.…"
acidrock23 replied to denise102206's discussion 'Corrections'"I totally agree with being nervous to eat @ 200, although if you have kids, I dunno how "marketable" that will be? I would correct and bolus and wait 15-30 minutes to confirm it's working. I prefer loading up on insulin and making…"

HI I have a question... I'm having a really off and out of blue day and haven't ate my dinner yet because for some reason my blood sugar 5 hours after eating is 202. My 2 hr number was 130 so I thought everything was ok or else I would have take a correction earlier. But now since it's time for me to eat I was wondering do I take the correction with my normal bolus for my meal and eat or do I take a correction wait for it to go down then take another for food and eat then? Haven't done a…See More

Zoe replied to denise102206's discussion 'Rollercoaster....'"We all have days like that sometimes. Sometimes there are things that we find are responsible for it.

I'm having such a bad day...and it's soo not normal... My blood sugar keeps going really high and then dropping until it's low.. It seems to drop pretty fast though and my hands feel like they have been shaky all day. Earlier when it seemed to be dropping fast I had a spoon full of peanut butter it went up to 110 then 1 hour later dropped again. It doesn't seem to want to stay up today, I don't understand what's going on, and I'm kinda nervous now.See More
