You must normalize your blood sugar
(bs) before your meals. Normalizing means
you should be at your goal before
eating a meal.
Suppose your bs goal is 90.
And one unit
of fast insulin will lower your
bs 30 points. And one gram
of carbs will raise your bs 5 points.
You also use smarties candy to raise
your blood sugar. Smarties is pure
glucose. One Smartie will raise your
bs two points.
If you blood sugar
was 120 before a meal, than take one
unit of fast insulin (like humalog)
to lower it. Than wait one and half hours
before you eat for your bs to lower
down to 90 before you inject your
meal insulin.
If your blood sugar was 80 before a
meal, then you would raise your bs
10 points by eating 5 smarties.
You would than wait 15 minutes for your
bs to raise to 90 before you inject
your meal insulin.
