A member asked:
Is it normal that immediately after an insulin dose increase(protaphane), say from 48 units to 54 units, the bg may go up initially before coming down?

Possibly: If the reason you blood sugar is elevated is secondary to stress, or anxiety, the effect of cortisol would still be in effect to raise your blood sugar before it lowered it.
