[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 1644548, member: 142835"] duration of fast acting insulin is meant to be 4 hours -- but many people find it has a "sting" in the tail and can last up to an hour longer Part of the answer might lie in what carbs you had at your lunch time meal. also agree with [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] -- accuracy on meters is +/- 15% so you could have been as low as 6.7 at 4pm and as high as 4.0 at 4:45pm I also note your 4pm test was only 3.5 hours post lunch bolus -- so you did have a bit of IOB ( insulin on board ) as you were driving home. a further thought .............as a year into diagnosis perhaps honeymoon period ( so body still producing erratic small amounts of insulin ) [/QUOTE]
