- Anyone who asks a question about diabetes without thinking what they're asking.
My carb insuling ratio is 12g to 1u. Say for example I have 60g of carbs for lunch, I inject 5u of Humalog. All good so far. Then two hours later I decide to have a snack containing 25g of carbs so I inject 2u of insulin. Sounds ok so far. But this will usually result in me going a bit low. However, if I were to eat 85g of carbs at lunch, and i inject 7u of Humalog, I'm fine.
I'm not really understanding this. I've heard of insulin stacking, and I'm aware that Humalog remains active for 3-5 hours, but struggling to get my head around what is different about the two case scenarios I described above. Any explanations or advice would be most appreciated.
