Hi you informative kind folks.... yet another question.... but not too sure how to put it accross!... What i am after seeking advice on is the amount and time it takes NovoRapid to reduce blood sugar... ie if taking 1:10 ratio and have a 60g carb(basic carb little fat) meal i would take 6 units... if my BS was 5.5 before meal and i anticipate a rise of approx 14 mmol (ie a rise of approx .24mmol per gram) and my insulin lasts 4 hours... is is possible to calculate the reduction per hour?.. ie would bs reduce by 70% total rise in 1st hour...reduce by a further 40% of the current mmol the next hour etc..etc... Reason as to why i am asking is i am trying my best to maintain levels at around 5.5 mmol and there have been occasions where 3 hrs after injection i have been say 6.1... and would be interested in knowing how much more of a reduction (mmol wise) would occur in the last hour of IOB just so i can anticipate more accuratly if i may need a few grams of carb to prevent my BS dropping too much lower than 5.5... hope you get that and know where im comming from... would be very interested on your thoughts or am i trying to be too precise trying to control this (often) uncontrolable and very unpredictable beast!!!!
