Love this!

Slide 77 is first time I’ve seen that and lines up based on my experience.

“4units of technosphere roughly equivalent to 2.5 units SC.”

That’s exactly right on based on how much it lowers my BS.

Yes, this statement [4units of technosphere roughly equivalent to 2.5 units SC] seems to match comment made by Gary Scheiner MS, CDE:

“From my experience (and that of some of my colleagues), they have about half the potency of injected insulin, so they can be treated as 2, 4 and 6 units.”

Kinda disappointing review, he really doesn’t get the benefits I think since he hasn’t used it long. What else can let me drink a reg coke with no spike in BS. I agree with needing to add novolog or something to cover most meals, pita to keep taking more doses.
