[QUOTE="mentat, post: 438642, member: 86670"] The short answer is, the worse the highs or lows, the more quickly I will adjust. If I have an unexplained hypo I reduce all my ratios immediately, as an unexplained hypo is often an indicator that my insulin needs have suddenly decided to drop. Even so, I will often have further hypos over the next 2-3 days and continue reducing my ratios. If I have a high I typically wait at least a day, sometimes 3 days, before adjusting, as highs are less dangerous. However, if my sugar is "stubbornly high" after a couple of meals I may increase my ratios earlier. To be honest I do a lot of it by "feel" rather than by having an organised system, but it works out to what I've described. [/QUOTE]
