This is interesting: Would you correct 120 with insulin? When would you take insulin, and when would you skip it? (BTW- at my most recent doctor’s visit, my a1c of 6.0 was met with : I’m a little concerned that it may be a bit too low. I try to generally not stray too far out of range from 80-140 for too long.) If my BG were 120, I would not want to try to mess with a good thing; unless I were planning on eating LOTS of chocolate and a croissant. But that’s a different story altogether.
