So I wanted to do a few blood glucose readings to try and figure out how insulin and hgh are working in my body. Below is the following timings and readings of the short test I did. Note I am currently taking 12iu HGH/day:
10:55pm - Blood glucose before meal 4: 114
11:00pm - Inject 3iu HGH
11:20pm - Blood glucose: 140
11:25pm - Inject 8iu Humalog
11:45pm - Blood glucose: 103
11:50pm - Eat meal - 60p/40c/2f (carb source: sweet potato)
Taking this into account, is there a blood glucose reading one should aim to be at before consuming a meal? So for this specific scenario should I have taken more insulin to lower blood glucose further? Or was this an adequate amount? Im currently 1.5 hours post meal and feeling completely fine, 0 hypo symptoms etc.
Im trying to understand when using insulin, how are you meant to know if you've used enough or not enough and for maximum results, should amount of IU's go up with the same carb intake?
Thanks for reading guys
