Insulin causes

taken too long after a meal
Ineffective or expired insulin
Mismatch of insulin with food
Suggested actions
Check the bolus history to confirm a missing
bolus. Time the meal bolus according to the onset
of insulin action or according to your health care
team’s recommendations.
Check the expiration date of the insulin.
Store filled cartridges or vials according to the
instruction for use provided by your insulin
manufacturer. Short-acting insulin U100 and
fast-acting U100 insulin analogues should
appear clear upon inspection. If you do not use
pre-filled cartridges, use a new vial of insulin.
Review the bolus amount in the bolus history
and re-evaluate. Consult your health care team
for adjustment of your insulin/carbohydrate
ratio if necessary.
