[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2059939, member: 503481"] Some of us do tend to run high when the food starts breaking down, then when novorapid kicks in you'll see a drop. However as [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] said you need to learn about the peak times and time frame of novorapid - Novorapid starts working within 10-20mins, peaks around 1-2.5hours and lasts around 4hours. You have to give novorapid the chance to work before correcting, otherwise you'll hypo and will hypo for a long time because we can't extract that insulin out. So lets say you have breakfast at 8am and your BG is 6, your next test is around lunch time, thats when you'll have food and check your BG again to see if it is okay. For correction doses, again ask your team but please give novorapid that 4 hour window to work. [/QUOTE]
