You need enough insulin to cover the carbs you just ate. The formula is one unit of insulin for every five carbs you eat. You can't just guess how much insulin to take. You must count your carbs. For example: if you eat 50 carbs you need ten units of insulin. 50/5=10. Please count your carbs and don't just inject insulin indiscriminately. Talk to your doctor. You should have been given the insulin formulas you need.
dang dude i have type one ?? wait arent you supposed to inject you insulin before you eat??if not check your blood like 15 minutes after you eat then depending on what your blood sugar is you inject as many doses thats my routine?? good luck
You are playing with your life! Stay away from the candy and you wont have to worry about the spike and it happens right away about 5 minutes after you eat it then it can crash down real low and if you inject more insulin it could kill you.... Leave it alone and follow your diet and medication like your doctor says and check your sugar levels often. Let it run high this time and please don't kid yourself. My Mom has lost a leg and has a glass eye due to just the sort of thing you are doing right now. I have type 2 diabetes and I watch very closely because I see what she has gone through. God Bless and keep you safe.
Medical advice from anonymous Yahoo posters isn't the best idea for a serious disease like Diabetes. You need to attend a basic Diabetes training program in your area, then coming to Yahoo for some additional helpful tips would make sense.
