    Correction dosing - more needed per mmol/L drop for higher BG?

    Yes, and that's exactly what happens. Very true! Great advice. I think I just need to be a bit more patient in the future. I still need to work on my ratios and correction factors, but I think I will hold off on overcorrecting. Just hate being high. Thank you.

    Correction dosing - more needed per mmol/L drop for higher BG?

    Yes, understood. Need to be careful as we are all different and need different doses. In Response (and others here) provided some information, which was helpful in that I know to add a little extra when higher than normal. BTW, you trump me in number of years - I am about 43 years T1 and still...

    Correction dosing - more needed per mmol/L drop for higher BG?

    Thank you EllieM. A follow-up question to this is: are there any "rules of thumb" or recommendations on how much extra might be needed? I assume it is specific to each person but would like to learn a bit more on this as I have had a number of situations where I end up correcting a few times...

    Correction dosing - more needed per mmol/L drop for higher BG?

    Thank you Hopeful34. At least I know I'm not going crazy trying to work out correction factors. I know insulin sensitivity can change throughout the day and can affect I:C ratios and correction factors, but BG level adds another level of complexity :(

    Correction dosing - more needed per mmol/L drop for higher BG?

    Hi All, I hope the title makes sense. I wanted to know from people's experience whether it is common for people to need a different correction factor to correct a very high blood glucose (say 14 mmol/L or higher) than for a moderately high BG (10 mmol/L). I have read somewhere that high blood...

    Accidental double dose of Tresiba

    I agree with calling emergency. For me, I made a similar mistake with Levemir a few months ago. I need about 17 units each day. I accidentally double-dosed (couldn't remember whether I gave it, so unwittingly gave the usual dose). I went low a few hours later and realised then that I...
