Taking quick acting insulin without food when BG is high is common practice. T1's are often taught to take correction doses when they are at a certain level, how much depends on how high they are and how sensitive to insulin they are.Definitely something to speak about with your diabetes nurse.Another thing coming to mind is that we often use 'sick day rules', where doses of both basal and bolus insulin are increased when we are ill. Also regularly needed when on steroids.It could make a big difference if you and your diabetes nurse could work out how to temporarily change your doses after the chemo.Whatever you do, be very cautious when altering doses. All the best!</blockquote>
