[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2157617, member: 372717"] Your diabetic team are [B]supposed [/B]to give you a correction ratio - eg 1 unit brings you down by 2mmol/L. This varies from person to person and can even vary by time of day, so we're really not allowed to recommend dosages on here - though the figures you've given above suggest that 1 unit brings you down by 3.5 (rounding down from 3.6 to nearest half unit) … Having said that, you don't state your type of insulin so I don't know how much more those 2 units would bring you down after that 2 hours....
