[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2374886, member: 101136"] Hi, Welcome to the forum. I would agree with [USER=140811]@urbanracer[/USER] regarding a steady "decompression" stabilising blood sugars back to normal perameters. Going at it like a "bull at a gate" is not always the better strategy? The time twix injecting & eating as a rule of thumb is 20 minutes. However, that's all good on paper with the working profile of insulin. But it doesn't take into account the type of meal? Fats can slow digestion. Some other carbs digest faster. Some have a more delayed action. So experimentation finding where the peak of the insulins action is in conjunction with the ballpark we aim for. So a simple injection the same amount of carbs in two different meals may not have the same result on any given day? Even the same meal on a different day can vary, if you track the result over a few hours.. It can be done, but don't feel deflated that there isn't "instant karma" straight away. What insulin/s is your daughter prescribed? [/QUOTE]
