Glad to hear that it all ended well

I find that there is a "relevant range" within which the normal insulin sensitivity factor based corrections work. With me, it is up to about 12mmol/l. As blood glucose rises above this level, the required ISF increases exponentially. The dosage tipping point, beyond which blood glucose collapses, also becomes increasingly critical. To get the desired result, the correction dose has to be spot-on. And there is no way of knowing what it needs to be.
Judging the required amount of the correction bolus becomes a lot more difficult as the BG goes up. For me, this is a major reason for limiting carbs. It means that blood glucose tends to stay below those hard-to-manage levels.
