[QUOTE="ert, post: 2448311, member: 504712"] Your dose is correct if you end up at the same pre-meal level 5 hours after eating. You could talk to your DN about dosing after you have started eating, or splitting your dose. It may help stop the sudden drops. It gives you a chance to give less than your total calculation for the second dose also. Coffee and cream with a meal also slows the insulin down. I have sudden drops sometimes with exercise after lunch. I have a Dexcom and get double arrows down where I've dropped at worse 1 mmol/l every 4 minutes. I start eating fruit, followed by Dextro if that doesn't work, followed by coffee and cream if I'm at home. It's much easier to exercise before breakfast where this never happens. [/QUOTE]
