The activity your planning to do it manually.
The amount of insulin you shoot up to do its just means you need to be playing sport so he was.

I’m curious tho. How long was it after he ate when he tested?
Should be at least 2hrs after eating to see what your preprandial numbers will be.
You shouldn’t correct with a bolus unless you are high after this stage, not before, else you risk going low.
Also, a bolus is administering a SMALL amount of fast acting insulin, not a large amount.
I hope he wasn’t testing shortly after breakfast, and waited at least 2 hours.
Great vid.
Type 1 requires alot of patience and calculations.

You must still be in your honeymoon phase, I can’t believe that your blood sugar hardly goes above 110!!!

Because Gatorade contains a lot of carbohydrates, it would make our blood sugar spike.

I’m glad he compared it to cancer and AIDS. People think I’m crazy when I do that. But it’s true. Every day is a struggle for survival.

This video should be shown in elementary and junio high schools to educate those who know little about the disease.
It’s a great vid, and I find myself coming back at least once a week.

Oops, meant “not” a large amount. Weird typo.
May 17th, 2009 at 8:25 am
I love this vid. I watch it all the time. Hah…
There are a few terms used that are used incorrectly, like “bolus”, which is actually administering a small amount of fast acting insulin a large amount, as stated in the vid.
I am just picky.
Great vid, everyone should watch.
