If you forgot to test, you’re in good company. It seems that the scientific researchers whom you rely on for your professional guidance on diabetes made the same mistake.When they tested the short-acting insulins, they forgot that the great majority of us with type 2 diabetes carry around too ...

In "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution" Dr. Bernstein has been advising people that any shot of insulin larger than 8 units will behave unpredictably and tells them to split the shots if larger than 8 units. He published that advice a decade ago.
He also explains that if you inject a large dose of any fast acting insulin it can last for a very long time. He cites an experiment where a huge bolus of R lasted a week.
The trick for type 2s using bolus insulin is to NOT try to match huge amounts of carbohydrate that require huge doses of insulin. The less carbs, the less insulin, and the more predictable that insulin will be.

David,
Would this imply that the response to a short-acting insulin injection may depend significantly on the fat density of the specific injection site?
Thanks, Don Lloyd

David,
It appears that different general injection sites were known to have different insulin absorbtion rates anyway.
OT : Did you see the UK reports that diabetic complications tend to lockin during early periods of excess glucose, and do not disappear in response to future normal glucose levels?
