Hi everybody,
I was hoping to find out more about insulin stacking if possible? My DSN has ran over bits of it with me but I don't fully understand it still. I used to have meals and then an hour/two after, if I was hungry, I'd inject a bit more as a correction so I could have a snack.
I had an issue a few months ago where I was did a correction, not long after I went to the gym and then I had a complex carb meal and did all of the insulin that was needed and didn't split it. I sent myself into a frenzy and since then have had issues worrying about having snacks between meals.
I was just wondering what everybody's understanding on it is please? I keep thinking that I can't correct between meals for a snack and therefore making myself hungry, or having the snack and my blood sugars staying higher. I have tried to read up on it but I still don't fully understand, hoping to speak to my DSN on Thursday to ask more but I thought I'd see what everybody thought first, thank you!
