[QUOTE="Tracieo, post: 622781, member: 116897"] HI everyone, I was diagnosed at t2 in 2008. After a few years of being in total denial regarding diabetes I am now working on getting to grips with this condition. As Meds were not controlling the sugars I am now on basal insulin. I started on 16th July 2014 at 10 units in the morning. Now taking 20 units each morning. My question is: Two hours after a nice big salad for lunch I have just tested as 4.6, do I wait until it drops below 3 or eat a low carb snack now?? Not sure how to spot when I need to eat or just wait and see what happens. Before lunch it was 6.9 any advise would be most helpful. By the way have never had a hypo and dont really know how far to let my levels drop before taking action. DN said to wait to 3 or less but have seen different advise on here. By the way love this website and have eamiled a link to my DN to tell her about it. [/QUOTE]
