So I totally forgot that I have some Afrezza samples when I was dealing with a high BG last night–muddy thinking, for sure! Anyway, I my TDD is only 25 units and so I only gave myself 1 unit of Humolog, which took about 3 hours to take my BG down from 253 to 180 (and to about 140 after 5 hours). If I’d used 4 units of Afrezza, what kind of BG action am I likely to have seen?
Assuming your bg was no longer skyrocketing but was just lingering at that elevated level, if it was me, I’d have expected to see normal bg anywhere from 70-120 in less than an hour after a 4u afrezza correction… If it was still skyrocketing it might have taken one 4u correction to halt it and then another to bring it down to normal.
No mathematical formulas necessary. The same answer would apply if you’d said your bg was 150, 200, 250… For me anyway…
Okay, thanks! I didn’t really have any idea of what to expect…and hopefully next time I’ll remember. Of course, I do have a piece of chocolate chip cookie leftover from lawn mowing the other day…hmmm…
