my question for us folks on insulin is: We can see our BS but can't do much about it. I take 4-hour insulin with meals and there is no adding or subtracting the insulin on board. If it is going too low one can eat something but if too high one must wait for the full 4 hours to pass. Can you explain how the Dex helped you? And do you take oral meds or insulin? Thanks.
