| correction question Christmas parties are getting the best of me this year. I'm more willing to eat than I was last year, and some of the stuff they serve at these things are really hard to guestimate...I'm doing a lot of correcting, and so I have a question.
If you higher than normal when you eat, so you are bolusing for carbs and a correction, where should you be at the two hour mark??
When I'm in range I'm usually around 140-170...but should it also be there if you take a correction? Or would it be higher?
This issue sort of freaked me out yesterday...weird circumstances where I was really high, starving, and had to eat now or not have another chance for hours and hours. So I ate and corrected, and two hours later I was 180, and having taken 9 units my mind went crazy trying to decide how to calculate what those remaining 4.5 units would do....needless to say my own solution to the question was REALLY wrong...but I'd still like to have a better idea of what to expect in those situations. (not that I plan to go there again, I'm swearing off of Christmas parties for the rest of this year!)
Thanks for the input.
