Moment Inject Apidra

Hello good .... I have a question when you click the apidra ... my nurse told me that I had to be just before starting to eat ... and there I have read that 15 min before ...?

To avoid the "peaks", put the apidra 15 minutes before starting to eat.

It depends on the departure glycemia you have and the trend you carry, but usually insulin must be put and wait a little before starting to eat, since foods are usually faster in their absorption than the action of the action ofinsulin.Thus, for example, if you have an 85-90 glycemia down it would be to inject and start eating without waiting.If you have a stable 90-120 it is to inject and wait 15 minutes.A 150 is to wait 30 minutes ... and from there up ... and if parts of a hyperglycemia of 200 or more, the wait should exceed 45 minutes since you put the insulin until you start eating ...
So in diabetes, like everything, it depends ... @"Marieta16_8"

Thank you very much @"jpr". Ask the endo and told me that if I was above 180 Q Wait 20 min and if nothing was normal ... but I'm going to do it as you say.

I will do it @"mamarvazq"!Thank you!

A question.Do you do this independently that you add units by being high applying the sensitivity factor?

Thank you

Of course
It is necessary to apply sensitivity factor to correct a preprandial glycemia out of objective and wait for the corresponding time, according to the departure blood glucose, so that the insulin bolus does the correction well before the absorption of the carbohydrates.
It is very important to see the trend of glycemia for all this, since it will not be the same a 155 going down than a 155 rising ... this is much easier to do with continuous meters

OK thanks!
