[QUOTE="Bananas 2, post: 1674420, member: 468065"] Your point 1 -- somewhat, yes, but not all THAT much, unless taking multiple/split boluses... then we're talking pincushion... which is kinda outside the point of the demonstration. Yes, the demo assumes most people might want to minimize the number of injections. It also assumes people might want to eat a complete and satisfying meal, and not eat, say, half a burger (with a high-GI bun), then the other half an hour later. 2 -- Uniform? in the case of low GI food, yes... since that is mostly the case with lowGI foods. The graph of mid-GI foods/meals (2nd set) is not regular, but skewed as is the case with higher GI foods, as with rapid insulin (which the graph also includes a knee - the tapering off end of the curve). Even the "R" curve is skewed (to a lesser extent) and has a knee. So I dont get your reference here. If you are talking about any other personalized irregularities, then it is irrelevant to the point of the demo, which must assume a standard and cannot cover all scenarios. As for glargine, the flatness is what is presented on all the numerous graphs I found on the web. Since I am not using glargine, I can only go with what data is available. Aside from that, it is not even used in the two examples. However, if you have a graph (and data) that shows a more accurate curve, I'd be happy to use it in the future!! Thanks for the feedback, but seems you're splitting hairs a bit here. [/QUOTE]
