Have you performed a c peptide test? Usually type 2's are diagnosed with normal or high c peptides while t1s usually diagnosed with low c peptide levels .... I've been in a similar situation for a month until anti islet cells antibody test came positive.... Good luck.

@claire1991 What do you think?

@TheBigNewt YES white kitkat please haha! What did you mean by not change the plan midway? So i can't just reinject in the midfle of the meal if i decide suddenly to eat more? (P.s I'm not a foody person so i always underestimate what I'm going to eat and sometimes end up hungry)

Also when i inject on my tummy (I know i should avoid muscles .... I'm a medical student lol ) it hurts so much!!! I used all types of pen needles it still hurts... But hurts less on my thigh.... Any advices?

Hey Juicy! I didn't mean to eat then take insulin after! I just meant if i just bolused for a meal and i'm eating and then i want to add more carbs to my meal do i inject and eat? Or is it just better to finish my meal and inject/eat after 4 hours? And yes i know i use a ratio of 1unit /15...

From what my Endo said.... The level of antibodies means nothing.... Just being positive or negative is the thing here.... Having higher or lower antibodies doesn't mean your case is more or less severe.

Also if i’m lower than expected before meal .... do I substract units same way I add units if I am high before meal?

@himtoo One last question to make sure I got that right! So if I’m higher than expected 2 hours after meal (insulin still in blood stream) do I perform a correction immediately? Or I have until the 4 hours are over and see how my blood sugar is ?

@himtoo thank you!!

So I should do first test 30 Mins after correction right? And if it is still high I can’t take any insulin before 4 hours? Until It’s fully out of my bloodstream right?

TYVM!! @catapillar @claire1991 !! That was very helpful!

Hi there! Newbie type 1 here ok so I just learnt about calculating correction factor to correct high blood sugars .... My question is .... after I inject the correction dose when am I supposed to measure again after? To make sure my blood glucose is in range (P.s : I use Apidra for...

UPDATE yes turns out I'm type 1 .... I'm currently on a novopen and hopefully switching to Omnipod soon!! I'm properly managing it (most readings between 4 and 6 thank god!!) ..except for the hypos i'm getting even after reducing insulin dose .... Hopefully switching to another insulin type soon
