Do you just keep injecting fast-acting until levels are right?

[QUOTE="ert, post: 2261032, member: 504712"] Blood sugars rise after eating. Unlike your body's natural insulin, injected short-acting works over a 4-hour window so you haven't waited long enough to see if the 2 injected units matched the carbohydrates in your meal. I don't stack insulin (taking insulin when you've already injected within the four-hour window) as it can cause your blood sugars to crash. I hope you have a diabetes nurse you can phone for advice. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
