[QUOTE="ert, post: 2316527, member: 504712"] You are correct for a type 2, in trying to get no more than a 2 mmol/l rise in BS. Unfortunately, that isn't the reality of using fixed curve insulin which is injected. DAFNE states you have to accept that if you are dosing for normal eating as a type 1 you will spike, and you ignore the spikes. DAFNE also states only extended elevation of blood sugars that put you in danger of DKA, eating normally and spiking for the four hours after a meal isn't a concern. They current thinking is to encourage type 1's to eat normally. It's just me that chooses not to. [/QUOTE]
