A member asked:
Should insulin be given in constant dosage or according to your glucose level before eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The regular insulin or short acting insulin should be used with a sliding scale, typically instructed by your doctor, i.e. the dose is adjusted by the glucose level before each meal. Take care.
