Also, Bolus is needed when sugars are to high. Ask Dr about using Humalog KwikPen insulin to correct highs. Hope this helps:)

It sure does help. I really spend time with her when she comes back from her appointments. I have never heard her mention the insulin KwikPen.

I just wrote down your message and will bring to her attention to asked her endocrinologist about. I sure would help rather than Boloing and nothing happening.

I am not sure if all expereience the side affects of highs. Her side affects are bad headaches and body discomfort. With lows she can sweat, get clammy, and if I don't give her (this has happened 3 times in 3 years) the glucose shot she stays in a almost passed out state.

Terrifying for me as I have to give the shot. Really trying to monitor now to not let this happen. We are working together to find foods that work for her quickly and those for long term carbohydrate eating.
