[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2209221, member: 420515"] OK, this is my understanding. If the insulin profile peaks at two hours and tails off (goes to zero) at four hours - - there is insulin taking glucose from the blood for the entire four hours - two hours is the point at which most insulin is being used, so this is the time when glucose is being taken fastest from the blood and probably when your bg measurement is changing most rapidly - at or around two hours (since the profile peak is not symmetrical) just over half the insulin dose has been used. Does this help any? [/QUOTE]
