[QUOTE="iHs, post: 444880, member: 8799"] Hi A bg level of 9.2 is a tad high to be eating a carb meal on, even with doing a correction dose. Insulin like Novorapid will struggle because its onset is slower than Humalog and Apidra but its acting time is slightly longer. I've used all 3. With Novorapid it does pay to wait for a bit for bg levels to lower and then eat the carb meal otherwise its struggle time as you found. All insulins will struggle a bit though but Novorapid moreso, that's why people get advised to inject it about 20mins in advance to give it time to work. Next time you are high, think about eating a low carb meal as that will have less of an impact on bg levels that are already elevated or wait for bg levels to lower, then eat the carb and bolus.
