(IYSWIM, ROFL !)
 
Thank goodness for Google 😛
 
As others have said. Fast acting insulin varies from person to person, I reckon mine peaks at 2.5 hours maybe 3 max.

That's completely different to how long the insulin is active for.

I use animal insulin and it peaks at the 2 hours but duration is 6 - 6 1/2 hours
 
Well you correctly guessed IOB Susan - so I didn't translate!

Sorry but like a lot of things eg YMMV and IYSWIM, they're used on all sorts of forums (Motorbikes, cars, motorhomes, shooting etc) plus ones that happen to be relevant to their subjects, same as here.

For all I know - you've been a leading light somewhere on t'internet for the last decade. (eg a girl on the other DSF ran a Smart car forum for years! LOL)
 
I feel like 1st cousin to Methuselah :D
I still don't know what IOB stands for :confused:
Tee hee! Oops, I hadn't spotted that it wasn't part of the list - it is now 😉

I didn't do texts before smartphones so didn't learn all those shortcuts and this is the only forum I visit regularly. The DF couldn't help either 😛

The duration of my Novo Rapid is little more than 3-4 hours.
