Hi, I take Humalog before eating meals etc or anything that is high in carbs, if you have something with carb content on packet you can use your meter to test your blood and then put in the carbs and it will tell you how much insulin you need to cover the meal, that should help bring down levels, dosent always work but in general it should, Im still trying to work things out as was only diagnosed in December so I'm no expert lol, beat speaking to your clinic

Bolus is the term we use for the rapid acting insulin we take with meals to balance out the carbs 🙂 (the terms confused me for a long time too - I still call my insulins long and short acting in my head!)

Not everyone on Insulin are Basal /Bolus regime, especially Type 2.

That's a better way to explain what I wanted to say lol
