Type 1 High bs TYPE 1

Try measure again, wash ur hands before ! How much insulin u normally take for ur dinner bolus and how many carbs u eat for that amount ? Dont bolus urself again, wait a bit and see if it gone down a bit.

It will take some time for the correction you've just taken to start working. If I was you I'd set an alarm for the correction dose to finish it's work, retest and then decide what to do next. At 40 minutes I'd think Novorapid would be just starting to get to work so taking another dose could well lead to stacking.

Are you sure you took the right correction for you? I've seen it mentioned a few times on the forum it can take extra insulin to correct a very high reading.

The thing is... even if I forget to bolus before meal my BG wont sky rocket like that... so im wondering what u had ... ?

Hi Shaners,

Wow, "meals" plural?

It may be a couple hours before you see something happening? "HI" on a meter is anything over 33Mmol?

How are you today @Shaners ?
