Bringing diabetic awareness to your fingertips

Gabe’s Guardians

Miscellaneous

I always wanted a chart that told me when insulin started to work, when it peaked, and when it finished working.  Well, here it is: Insulin Chart

A portion of the teaching that took place when Gabe started the pump was knowing how much insulin was left working before we gave more insulin.  That is called the "Unused Insulin Rule".
