Chapter 11: Treatment Decisions
I don’t want to insulin stack, but I also don’t want to be high for too long.
I bet the insulin just hasn’t gotten into my system yet, so I’ll just watch it to see if it
comes down in the next hour or so. If I’m still high in an hour, I’ll consider taking more
insulin.
Hi – it’s Kelly! I’m at 120 and I feel fine. I’m supposed to be between 80 and 220
mg/dL, so no worries! But check out my trend arrow! Double down!
Yikes! That will take me down to 75 in 15 minutes!
“Mom! I need some OJ!”
Takeaway
Your trend arrows point the way your number is heading. Use your trend arrow with
your number to fine-tune your diabetes management decisions, like Jake and Kelly.
