It is in your best interest if your 2 hour after meal BG # are > 140 mg/dL! Also consider using pump therapy even if you have type II diabetes. There are pumps with tubing but also a pump without tubing called the OmniPod, if that has been part of your objection.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924568343745108714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-42667462483701003392009-03-06T16:22:00.000-05:002009-03-06T16:22:00.000-05:00Anonymous 4:10's post shows a complete lack of com...Anonymous 4:10's post shows a complete lack of comprehension of the point made in the post.<BR/><BR/>I love it when people post anonymously and insist they are Very Important People whose opinions trump any data that has been presented, too. <BR/><BR/>Don't you!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-38635700670922039972009-03-06T16:10:00.000-05:002009-03-06T16:10:00.000-05:00Your wrong. as a diabetes nurse i can assure you t...Your wrong. as a diabetes nurse i can assure you there are many type 2 patients who benefit from bolus only insulin regimes, especially those who have high carb meals and dont want to change. Many just need a touch of fast acting to get postprandial readings back in range. It is more widely believed now that it is a yo-yo of blood glucose readings that causes more harm rather than higher readingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-15021591119166407302009-03-06T07:01:00.000-05:002009-03-06T07:01:00.000-05:00I know a Type 1 who uses the logs to cover higher ...I know a Type 1 who uses the logs to cover higher carb meals but prefers R for his usual low carb meals as it onsets and runs out slower and better covers lower GI things.<BR/><BR/>Talking of duff studies, have you seen this magnificent takedown of Ancel Keys?<BR/><BR/>http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/2009/02/cholesterol-presentation-between.html<BR/><BR/>This started off the technique of Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-2597180275271466742009-03-05T09:44:00.000-05:002009-03-05T09:44:00.000-05:00One thing to note is that these idiots are so fixa...One thing to note is that these idiots are so fixated on heart disease that nothing else matters.

Regular insulin (humulin R) work in about 45 min and I believe in about 15 min im.
