[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2089874, member: 475037"] I can only tell you what I do which is calculate how much insulin I take to what carbs I eat. So what I take will vary to what I eat. Different types of insulin can vary, but most are most effective at 1 to 3 hours , but can keep working say up to 5 or 6 hours later. So usually you will learn to adjust your insulin to how many carbs you eat, not a set amount. So more carbs, more insulin. Correction doses are when you are to high, but you want to be careful of what we call stacking, which is taking more insulin while we still have insulin working. That can causes hypo. Some Prebolusing would help. [/QUOTE]
