[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1428939, member: 32394"] 1) did she wait for the correction to work before eating, or did she stay eating at 13? Because a raise of 2mmol with a 40g carb lunch doesn't suggest insulin isn't working. It suggests it's working just fine, you just started out too high. The correction is going to be slightly stymied by food - a correction won't stop food raising you, and that isn't the purpose of a food bolus either. Everyone rises after eating. 2 mol is a mininimal rise, it just looks bad when it's 13 to 15, but the insulin is working perfectly. 2) yes, the menstual cycle can an does impact on insulin sensitivity. You might need different basal rates and different ratios depending on where you are in the cycle. But if effects everyone differently, just keep a close eye on what it's doing to you. It might be different next month. [/QUOTE]
