[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 890342, member: 142835"] Hi Jacquelineann you posted again while i was writing humalog mix25 and humalog mix 50 are not really insulins that are designed for taking correction doses. the very nature of these insulins is such that they are designed to be used in a fairly rigid routine of eating and injecting at the same times every day. if you used either of these as a correction you would be stacking insulin and would leave yourself vulnerable to lows at unexpected times in relation to your daily life. as to insulin to carbs ratio first have a read of the attached link which explains in detail how mixed insulins work and who they are suited to. [URL]http://dtc.ucsf.edu/types-of-diabetes/type2/treatment-of-type-2-diabetes/medications-and-therapies/type-2-insulin-rx/sliding-scale-therapy/[/URL] we would need to know the doses you are taking , pre meal and 2 hour post meal test results , and how many carbs you are eating per meal to help make any sense of it for you.
