[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 2153293, member: 468055"] That’s not how it works, sadly. It’s an almost impossible job to be your own pancreas with the tools and insulin currently available. It’s like trying to mend a watch with a hammer. Synthetic insulin (even the ultra rapid ones we have today) lasts up to six hours in the body, and takes quite a long time to get working in the first place. Add to that the (at least) 42 factors that affect blood sugar, and you realise just what an impossible job we type ones (and type twos who take insulin) face in trying to keep our levels on an even keel. I have an artificial pancreas system, and even with that I occasionally go a little low. [ATTACH=full]36279[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
