If you are about to eat,
take insulin to cover
your meal. Consider
taking a little more
since glucose is rising.
If you have taken
insulin recently, do
nothing and scan again
later.
Avoid “insulin stacking”.
If you are about to eat,
take insulin to cover
your meal. Consider
taking a little more
since glucose is high
and rising.
If this is between
meals, consider taking
an insulin correction
dose, unless you have
taken insulin recently. If
you have taken insulin
recently, do nothing
and scan again later.
Avoid “insulin stacking”.
