[QUOTE="David147, post: 802702, member: 164935"] Diabetics take their own blood sugar at specified times, and use a chart to determine how much insulin they should take. It is used for diabetics who are not in control of their blood sugars, those who are, those that are type one diabetic, and type two. It is one of the most accurate ways to control blood sugar, except to have a insulin pump. Diabetics can "cover" the meal they just ate, and the system takes things like stress and illness into consideration, both of these can cause blood sugars to rise out of normal range, as can eating too much, or exercising too little. If you want to learn more, go to the American Diabetic Association website. It is easy to navigate around in, and written in plain english [and Spanish]. [/QUOTE]
