In many people this means a larger spike, but still coming down to the same place after several hours.However, in certain individuals more complicated things occur. Some people seem to become "extra sensitive" to the second injection and don't need as much insulin for the same effect. Other people find that they need to add on a few extra units. This might be due to the immune system destroying part of the injected insulin.So, by all means try it, but monitor your sugars and if there is a clear pattern then adjust for it.</blockquote>
