Hi guys,
Does anyone take abit more insulin then needed so that you can cover more then the meal itself.
Let me give you an example
Lets say I take a protein shake
15g carbs 5g fat 40g protein
I know I will need 1u at the time of taking the shake if BGL >5.5
about 1.5 - 2 hours after I will take about 2u to cover the protein and to stop the spike.
Here is the question if at 2 -3 hours post shake consumption I was to have a meal can I add the 2u on top of the bolus I would need for that meal?
Hope the above makes sense
