That would probably kill you- you'd have a blood sugar of zero. 4 units is about typical for a sliding scale insulin before a meal. In the hospital, I often gave only 2 to 6 units of insulin, in the morning and night, and before meals. Prednisone tends to make your blood sugar higher than normal. I start prednisone in a week or two, and I will probably be in the same boat. I'll find out soon if they will just have me start checking my blood sugar several times a day once I reach a certain number if weeks, or if they will still have me do the tolerance test.MrsSpockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792687516201324640noreply@blogger.com
