[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1904057, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=474433]@Fenn[/USER], If you google "insulin profiles' and then look for Humulin (or a chart showing Humulin vs other insulins" you can obtain an idea of the time after injection when Humulin reaches its peak blood-sugar lowering action). This can help you predict when your BSLs may tend to lowest after injection. (? over several hours) Of course the chart or profile is drug company information or similar as shows a average of sorts. Some people may have their Humulin acting a bit sooner or later than others, but it will still give you an idea of when to check your BSLs rather than be worrying about it every 5 minutes !! With some BSL results (preferable over several nights - Sorry!! ) you can then discuss with your DSN or doctor whether the Humulin dose needs to be altered or not. The first blood sugar on wakening (the fasting BSL) is also important to measure for your discussion. Best Wishes. [/QUOTE]
