[QUOTE="iHs, post: 891089, member: 8799"] Hello [USER=190946]@Jacquelineann[/USER] Twice daily insulin injections are easy to comply with but their mode of action in controlling bg levels is very dependant on eating carbohydrate in quantities on a frequent basis like every 3hrs to keep bg levels maintained within healthytarget ranges like 6mmol before eating a main meal and adjusting the carb to allow a rise of about 8.5mmol 2-3hrs later Some diabetics get a bg of about 7.5mmol and unless they eat a small snack, they can go a bit hypo before the next main meal is due. So to get the best out of twice daily jabs, testing bg is essential so that carb can be adjusted. Is it restrictive?. Well it depends on how much food you like to eat in one go. I used Humalog Mix 25/75 from the mid 80's until 2002.
