[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2506893, member: 53162"] Hi Ian, What's the trigger level that makes you want to correct ? Ideally you shouldn't correct within 4 hours of eating as you need to see the result of the quick acting dose before deciding upon a correction, however I completely understand where you are coming from to, as I am also guilty of over correcting at times if I see it creeping above 12, psychologically I seem to feel that the quick acting isn't doing the job it should do if I go so high but I have to remind myself that I will also pay for it later if I am too quick to act. The other danger is where you end up in the yo yo of correcting a high but then having to take glucose to correct a low, and at this point I can start to bounce off the walls. The other solution is to just go for a walk as this will naturally bring levels back into range too, and I do this often if I don't want to risk the insulin. [/QUOTE]
