[QUOTE="PH0N0N, post: 2392325, member: 542057"] Thank you for the responses. I am using a Libre sensor and always check when BG is < 5. I think I do produce some of my own insulin (Type2). I only take a very little insulin per day/ meal. Unfortunately we couldn't get the BG/ketones under control without the insulin. For example, 2 units at dinner with a 1:15 carb ratio is enough to take my BG down from say 8.6 pre-meal to 4.4 in on example at around 70 minutes after the insulin dose. It does it in pretty much straight line down form when the insulin gets going. At lunch a 1:10 ratio and say 3 units doesn't do the same thing, it is almost always at dinner. I was basically just wondering if there is any reason that taking the rapid insulin dose before the meal would for some reason be "important" or if it is really just lining up when the carbs hit vs when the insulin hits.
