[QUOTE="PH0N0N, post: 2392304, member: 542057"] Hi I am a newer insulin user (T2 but Ketosis-Prone Diabetes (Flatbush Diabetes), insulin dependent). I've been acclimatising to all of the new "stuff" since 10th Feb. I'm a reasonably routine-based person, so I'm trying to find out what in my process is not yet quite right. The pattern that I am trying to correct is: I compute the right carb amount using the various sums (including correction, time of day carb ratios, activity levels, etc). Usually after dinner that the insulin (Novorapid) comes on before almost any food that I eat, resulting in a sharpish few mmol drop in BG. It does "come back" to normal levels at around 90 minutes usually. I've been pushing back the timing of my insulin from 10 min before, to now 15 min after. It still happens sometimes, but it is not as "deep" as if I went 10 mins before eating. Is it OK to keep pushing this back to after the meal even more? Is 30 mins after eating insane? FWIW: If I vary the carb ratio, what happens is similar, down, then up, but my blood just goes higher for the rest of the evening in this case. It seems that the ratio is "correct" for 2h later, but the 1st 90 mins is a bit of a roller coaster. Any thoughts appreciated. Best, Chris [/QUOTE]
