Insulin 6 (1 piece)

Check your glucose again in 1–2 hours and follow your prescribed correction plan; do not take extra insulin unless your clinician has instructed you how to correct.

Drink water and avoid sugary drinks or additional refined carbohydrates until the level is trending down.

If you feel well and do not have ketones, a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating may help; avoid exercise if glucose is very high, you feel unwell, or ketones are present.

For future meals, reduce portion sizes of rapidly absorbed starches and pair carbohydrates with protein, unsaturated fat, and non-starchy vegetables.

Choose slower-rising carbohydrate options such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, steel-cut oats, plain Greek yogurt, apples, berries, or pears.

Seek urgent medical help for vomiting, confusion, trouble breathing, moderate or large ketones, or persistently very high readings.
