Hiya hun, i used to do that and i ended up in a bad cyclenof hypos ans hypers my consultant and nurse specialist told me novorapid lasts for 4 hours so if youbwere to use a correction dose after yoir forst hit you will clash and hypo therefore having to have sugar then going to high they both said if you are to do correction doses then do it during your normal meal doses, least now you know that 4 units isnt enough maybe it is worth next time something like that javing 5 or 6 units and see how you get on, i use an app called carbs an cals and you can put your meal in (although it doesnt contain everything) then put in yoir bg before your meal and it tells you how many units you are likely to need plus any correction doses you mah needNot really,I just want a bit advice regarding insulin.
Free Money will get more views than something like... insulin advice.
Anyway I had sausage and chips for tea from the chippy as a treat. Before food my reading was 5.0 and I took 4u novorapid.
2 hrs later 6.7
3 hrs 9.6
And 4.5 hrs 11.7.
I was happy with the 2 hr reading but knew the food would digest slow and I would get a later spike.
When this happens is it common practice to take a few units as a correction dose? And if so would it be better after the 2 or 3 hour reading?
Also I'm still honeymooning and readings are a bit erratic, normally a lot lower than the spike ive just had.
Cheers John.
