Rapid insulin correction
I do not know if it has happened to you on some occasion that you have had to eat outside the home and for having made some extra when eating you have to correct 2h to be high and then reach the right levels.
My question would be if it happens from time to time can be done?
thank you
Hello, they taught me that this is what you have to do whenever it happens.
Good @"Antuam Perez" my answer is that yes, it is normal that if you have fallen short with the insulin you correct yourself later.😊

Ok thanks Joelsa and Fer, I understand that if you are high for a while, and when correcting you low at normal levels, you have no risk, right ??
@"Antuam Perez": To correct you have to be very clear how much an insulin unit and wait about two or three between injection and injection to avoid hypoglycemia.To me a good walk also helps me to lower a glycemia not too high.

Rectifying is wise.
Here also applies, if at 2 hours after having eaten these high, for thousands of causes, it is rectified and period.Of course, you have to be conservative if you have never done it before.Try 1 unit and wait 1.5h to see how much it goes down, if you see that you stay above 140, point and next time you put 2h.
Aerobic sport also lowers glucose.If you can, go walk or run.

Ok thanks Ruthbia, new things are always learned
I am correcting all day.It is the only way to have good control.
When you correct you have to take into account what you have eaten, if it is slow digestion for example because it is a copious meal it will take longer to climb the glucose.
In the first correction you put a little insulin and if you fall short you can put again.But you have to keep in mind that the first dose will still have an effect, even if it is residual.
You have to avoid or at least try to have hypoglycemia for correcting too much.
Essay and many errors.
Thus in diabetes.

The correction on the march as a habit has an important problem.
It generates a harmful feedback loop in the end, it is as follows:
- HC increases are corrected with +ud insulin
-+UD insulin promotes fat storage (insulin is prolipid)
- Fat storage generates an increase in insulin resistance.
- The resistance s insulin demands greater insulin ud to displace the same HC
- What again promotes greater fat storage, and thus follows the loop.
The ideal correction should be accompanied by exercise.
By the way, fat accumulation can rise the LDL.
Greetings
Good morning
In this case correction and habit I think they must be antagonistic terms.Said in a clearer way, it must be corrected in a timely manner, otherwise perhaps problems such as those detailing @Pinkman may appear.
So, answering the question that @antuam perez raises, I think so.
All the best.

@"Antuam Perez".I attach a link that I hope helps you:
From that article you can go to another entry where we talk about "glycotoxicity", a concept that has seemed very interesting to me

Antuam Perez said:Hello, it does happen to me when it was a meal mainly of hydrates (in my day to day not as well).For example, on Saturday I ate in a Mexican and I was clicking from 15h to 18h.The issue is that I control the levels, but at the hour and a half of the first puncture, it starts to rise, then before it triggers me again.I think this happens to eat more and in the end the digestions are eternal, and the rapid insulin does not cover three or four hours of digestion.During this time put that I click 1.5ud before eating, 2ud before dessert (it was a birthday) and 1ud at the hour and a half.I understand that it is better that way, because if I click all that together, hypoglycemia.

When glucose is high, you have to correct.
You need to know how much a fast unit goes down, although it is not mathematical., but have an approach.
If the food is more abundant than usual, it will have to be put two or three times the fast.
The important thing is to have glucose controlled.
