[QUOTE="iHs, post: 402761, member: 8799"] I think its very easy to get carried away trying to achieve perfection with insulin and failing at times If my bg level was on 7mmol before I had food, then I would expect it to rise to about 9-10mmol 2hrs after eating and then wait for it to fall back to 8mmol at the 3hr mark and then by the 4th hour, bg level is back to about 6.5-7mmol again. If my bg level was on 6mmol before eating, then by the 2nd hr it would be about 8-9mmol and then by the 3rd it would be around 7mmol and then by the 4th it would be between 5-6mmol again. There is always going to be a rise and drop but at the moment, bolus insulin needs to be faster in its onset and shorter in its duration but until newer insulins become available, we can do our best but not make ourselves ill worrying all the time Give yourself a break Roberto and stop worrying. You'll end up being a bag of nerves. Who has advised you to be so tight with your bg levels anyway? [/QUOTE]
