A question that arises from me: in addition to rations, do you also calculate the glycemic index of the food you are going to eat?
My nurse told me that it was important, but it has happened to me that seeing high Ig values injecting me more for fear that it will rise much later and I have spent causing hypoglycemia.
Right now I am without looking at the IG (more or less I know which ones are lower or high) but I do not take them into account when injecting myThey ask for it, so I don't know whether or not so important is.With the ratio that put another nurse in the application (not the same one that told me about the IG) has succeeded in full, after eating I am perfect.
The glycemic index (IG) indicates the food absorption speed. In my opinion, I believe that it is not very, very, very important in the calculation of an insulin dose (although it must be known).
The IG is used to calculate the absorption time of carbohydrates, not to calculate the dose as such.It is never good to expose himself to hypoglycemia.
@sil, I think that counting the glycemic index of carbohydrates is more profitable for firefighters since you can program bolo with bolo wizard, dual or square depending on whether a ration of rice (high index) or a cooked chickpeas and sausages(low index), for example. And of course, if you eat a good cooked and you get fiasp, a safe hypo, because insulin acts very fast and you have not yet completed the digestion of the cooked (4 maomena hours).
Maybe he told me because we are going to start with education about the bombs to put on a ... then it would be quite helpful to know this data to adjust it well.Thanks @Solaria: Smile:
