[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2445467, member: 527103"] When we take correction doses, we need to be aware of insulin onboard. If you are taking a bolus, you will have insulin on board (bolus which has not become active yet) for 4 or more hours after injecting and this need to be considered whether you correct 2 hours after injecting or 1 hour. If you inject a correction without taking insulin on board into consideration, you are at risk of overdosing and going hypo. Just because your levels start climbing does not mean you need to inject more. If you are not comfortable with calculating insulin on board, I recommend discussing this with your DSN as this can vary per person. Are you also aware that Libre can be inaccurate when your levels are high? For this reason, it is always recommended to finger prick test before correcting. For example, this afternoon, my Libre reported an unexpected 10.1. When I checked with a finger prick, the result was 7.3. [/QUOTE]
