[QUOTE="StewM, post: 2481333, member: 538114"] Point 2- I borrowed this primarily from Steven Ponder. A drop of 0.3 shows the Inuslin is active. Whilst yes the Insulin SHOULD become active at 10 minutes (though I’d say 15 would be more accurate and was what I was taught on my course), there are quite a few circumstances where that won’t happen. My insulin is quite fast and it takes a minimum of 20 every morning sometimes a lot longer. Whilst I understand why they simplify things for the purposes of the course, I do feel they’re giving people skewed expectations of what their Insulin can and will do. The most important thing is to be mindful the insulin doesn’t become too active before eating as any hypos this might cause are a nightmare to treat (because the food is going to spike is still coming, and the Blood Sugar might start “rollercoastering”).
