From what value do you tend to correct?

My educator has told me to do so from 250, but it seems to me a very high figure.

Last night a curious thing happened to me, I had dinner at 21.00, I click what I touched me and at 23'00 (2 hours later) I was 131, until there all normal.Until at 12'20 (which was sleeping) the alarm sounded, I thought it would be a hiccup, not!A hyper, was 210 (proven in blood).

As I did not reach 250 I doubted whether to rectify or not, but I did it with 1/2UD.of insulin and at 4:25 that I woke up I was already in 165 and I got up with 110.

This has never happened to me.Do not blame it for food because it is something that dies quite often and never rises.

This diabetes has such rare things ... Today, just in case I uploaded a unity of the slow.

Greetings,

@Cassie, then you have solved it well.The corrections are personal, depending on the effect that insulin does to you.

From 180 or so, also depending on whether I am still digging the food or not.

I never below 300, and above sometimes either, if I know that the insulin bolus has not yet done its effect.

I normally from 200 mg/dl, and provided that more than 2 hours have passed since the last rapid injection.

I rectify from 150mg/dl with the arrow up, because it takes 2 hours to make insulin effect, for when I have passed the 180mg/dl.If rectified with 200, it would easily reach 350.

@Cassie If it has not happened to you, it can be a hormonal effect that shields the effect of insulin, so you have a high value.Look at when ovules or menstrues, we usually need more insulin those days, basal and fast.

I by general rule from 170 that is when the alarm sounds to me.Now that I am pregnant in 130 - 140.

I do the following:
- If I get to 180 after breakfast or food I prefer to take a walk to rectify.
- When I am going to bed, with 130 I already rectified because from 12 to 3 I climb between 30 and 50. If I am in 130-140 I rectify with average unit (Humalog Junior use) and from 150 with 1.
That night rectification, as it covers almost the entire period in which I get up (00-3) makes me get up with very good values.
I have had some occasion that I have not been able to walk after eating and the food has risen me a lot and I had to rectify up to twice.I have a lot of respect for the rapid, he has already played some bad downturn more than the account.

Well it can be .... But as it is the first time it happens in 6 months .... it left me out of it.I still do not dare to get more or less insulin in my opinion.I usually trust what the Social Diabetes application marks (let's go the parameters that put me), but I marked to click with a unit and since I know that at night I lowered me a lot, I did not dare and I put only 1/2.
I have read you a lot in this forum, and I wanted to thank you because in my downtime, your opinions have helped me a lot.

If that is what they have recommended for pregnancy, it seems good to me ... but as I have been said to be with 130,140,150 are totally normal values ​​for us, right?If I rectified those values, insured hypo.

Well, I don't know why I have been advised to more than 250, because it seems to me to reach that value.I have the sensor alarm on 200 and if it happens there but I am still under the effect of the novorapid (lasts 3 hours) I try to control my nerves and do nothing, because I know it will come down.But but obviously at 2 hours, it would rectify ...

I try not to ingest foods that make me upload to those levels, I don't compensate me emotionally later.At 300 and peak I was when I debuted and they started treating me as if it were type 2 diabetes ... and scared, I threw my dizzy 3 months, with blurred vision, ... Luckily the fast insulin has left me life to makenormal life.Although at the beginning it was hard for me to adapt because I was with my head as "encompassed."

@Cassie Thank you for your words.Diabetes must be accepted and learning to handle it, which does not hinder in our lives, or just the right.You have to know and measure the limits of each one.That is why we always say "proof and error";It is good to be mistaken and scare of hypos and hypers, it is the only way to learn.

At first we faithfully follow nurses and endocrine, but in about 5-6 months we dare to try and really start living with diabetes;In my case, I spent 3 months without going out to eat, without social life almost and all heavy and measured ... error because I was in Luna Honey and I could have done many more things that now cost me more insulin effort.

As for the rectifications, each one decides.That is, my optimal threshold was marked by the endocrine between 80-125mg/dl, and it is where I try to be always.Before he listened to nurses with their famous rectifications from 180-200 and what he achieved was very high socks with glycos of 6.7;Now I am 6 with low hydrates diet and rectifying before.
Recently I have read that glycos greater than 6, at 10 years of age they give minor retinopathies.The more we approach a Normaglucemic behavior, the less effects over the years.

Do not be afraid of rectifications, just have in the glucose bag and if you are at home it is easier to drink a juice or soda.As we rectify with few units it is easy to overcome, in addition to the strident alarms of some applications (I put the way not to bother in which I make up contact calls, the rest quiet all :))

Curious topic for someone DB2 like me ...
I sincerely did not expect you to correct "as soon."
That is, I although I have everything quite controlled, the times that the glucose is put over 170, that takes to lower a barbarity ... the only option to walk and, sometimes, depending on the circumstances, I cannot ...

It does not compensate for me either, mostly because it is always a result of a calculation error (not because of the food or not looking at my label, but for eating at the wrong time or correcting hypoglycemia with something inappropriate).I have never reached such high levels because suddenly I have wanted to eat an ice cream or have a beer.In fact, if I know something like that, I will need an extra bolus, I don't take it.

For years I try to be between 80-140 and I correct from 130 if they are two arrows up, or 140-150 if the arrow stable with 1 unit so that it goes down to 90-100 (if I am going to do sports orSleep if I stay in 130 and go down).Correct from 250 seems a lot to me!

Hello good!

I slept 74 (ate a sweet, normal cookie), I woke up with 76, normal breakfast, as always, little physical activity, run with the Nintendo 10 min (when I work tomorrow I can not walk 6 km for lack of time)... I get to work, I am (I have no sensor with alarms ... to see if I get it within this year) ... and I am 432… ..😑
I'm rookie… .. what do I do ...?I am quick with me ... skewer 4u ...?Help

Repeat the analysis with the glucometer.
If you are still this high, you have to correct quickly.They will have given you some dose indication ..., usually a fast unit, lower the glucose ..., but it depends on sensitivity.

@Liars What diabetes do you have?
What insulin using?It seems a lot of four hundred and peak if you have used fast at breakfast.

I am D1, Lada, the fast is Fiast, the slow Toujeo 12u at night.They did not indicate me, I do not know how my sensitivity is, p.e., at 11 I click 4u fiasp, ate fruit (strawberry/kiwi/Arandanos) and after 1 hour I was with 301, after 2 hours 255 and after 3 hoursto 159….It seems to me that it is a bit slow… I am I😖
They gave me the fast, because having rule and Covid had high numbers.Well, the prescription is: 4u of Fiasp when the rule (which I do not have right now and I don't know, because this happens to me now😫)
