[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2385338, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=470675]@corbanwolf[/USER] Unfortunately there aren't exact set parameters for insulin speed/efficacy vs carbs eaten. Factors which influence insulin speed can be time of day, heat, type of carbs eaten/amount of fat, and even if you eat the same thing/inject the same amount of insulin every day, you will always get different results, then if you exercise this can speed things up too. Some areas may pool insulin too, so will peak later. I will very often take my bolus 20 mins early to try and balance this against my rise, but again this isn't precise or works every time. Personally I will avoid carbs at certain times of the day because I cannot manage the rise, but how you respond to insulin is unique to yourself, it takes trial and error and it's good to keep a diary to record info to help you manage this more easily also as evidence to support your case if you need to get your insulin changed.
