Other considerations
Deciding how much rapid-acting insulin to take for different meals and
situations can be difficult . Work with your health care professional to
discuss different situations and what might work best for you . Here are
some questions to consider:
Meal dosing
• What do you do if your before meal glucose is high?
• What do you do if your before meal glucose is low?
• How much time do you wait to eat after taking your meal insulin?
• Do you adjust the amount of meal insulin based on the number of carbs
or how much you are planning to eat?
• Do you adjust your meal insulin dose for high fat foods such as pizza?
• Do you know how to adjust your insulin doses when drinking alcoholic
beverages?
High glucose corrections
• Do you take extra insulin if your glucose is high?
• How do you decide how much insulin to take for a high glucose?
• How long do you wait between insulin doses to avoid insulin stacking?
