| Robin, if I am approaching 300, my correction factor (1 unit for 40 points) is terribly off...I actually go a little bit nuts with the insulin inasmuch as I take more than I would recommend anyone take, but I also have "corrective" foods around so when I am normal again, I eat to cover the active insulin.
ANYWAY, at 400 I know 8 units won't do me jack. I'd be taking more like 15, and I'd take three shots in three separate areas to increase absorption (5 units each). And like you did, I drink fluids and drink fluids and drink.
I check at 1 hour...If I am not signifigantly higher, I don't bolus again. If I am, I do. IN any case, I check sugars again in half an hour, and half an hour later (exactly two hours from my three shots). I hope to be under 200 at that point.
Anyway, that's my approach. It can be a bit dangerous, but like I said I do this when I have foods close. Also, I don't eat a danged thing until I am normal. And I mean nothing.
Tell Eri to hang in there.
