the right formula…
ok, so i think i finally figured it out, or im in the
process of figuring out how to avoid hypoglycemia while
still maintaining good glucose levels. im on novolog insulin
which peaks after 2 hours and tapers off, but is still
working for another hour or so following the peak..total
of about 3…i was going hypoglycemic repeatedly during
hours 2-3, so instead of trying to have my 2 hour post
prandial at 120 or 130, i take a little less insulin
to get my 2 hour post prandial at about 160 or 170, and then
the glucose levels naturally start to go down cuz theres
still some insulin working in the 3 rd hour…and by the time
the insulin wears off, im at about 110. thats what happened
today at least, and i think it could work. its just a pain
sometime, cuz the insulin could still be working, and so
one must have a small snack to counter off the tapering
effect of the insulin…but im learning, slowly but surely.

the cure for diabetes, and theyre planning on releasing
