The goal at diaVerge Diabetes is to provide real-life, applicable information about diabetes management - and this time, we're focused on insulin problem-solving. 

The truth is, mealtime insulin can be very tough to figure out. There are so many variables that impact the action and effectiveness of a mealtime bolus, such as...

• type of insulin

• dose

• prebolus timing

• type of food you're covering

• injection location

• needle/cannula length

• basal insulin dose/timing/rate

​It's exhausting, right? 

While there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to insulin, there ARE some problem-solving questions that can help you gain more clarity based on what's happening and when. 

We've written a printable PDF guide to help you figure out why you might be experiencing out-of-range blood sugar levels - and what to do next.

Whenever you're learning a new diabetes technique or trying to figure out something that's not currently working well, we recommend documenting everything. Sometimes even just narrowing your focus and seeing the details in front of you can reveal the answer. 

Track your inputs, including insulin (type, dose and timing), food, beverages, sleep, stress, exercise, etc. Then use our free downloadable Blood Sugar Cheat Sheet to help you problem-solve.

This is what we do at diaVerge. We take the complicated parts of diabetes management (which is all of it, I guess) and put it into everyday language and actionable steps.
