[IP] DOES EVERYONE DO THE 3 HOUR/30 RULE?

[email @ redacted]

i just finished reading PUMPING INSULIN by JOHN WALSH and found it very 
informative..... i'm wondering if everyone here follows the three-hour rule, 
ie, at three hours after bolus, sugar should be within 30 of starting glucose 
reading.....
i myself follow that rule, but i've had doctors tell me that it should be at 
TWO HOURS following bolus.  i myself still drop after two hours consistently 
and humalog, IMO, works consistently for three hours at least in me!!  
his book also says that one hour after eating you should be about 40-80 
higher than your starting sugar level........ at two hours i always take the 
unused insulin rule into account before i even think of doing anything 
else...........
it's funny how i figured this out before reading this part of the book and i 
kept asking everyone over and over again:  should i go on readings after two 
hours or three hours cuz docs kept telling me two hours and i would argue 
saying i still drop about 20-30% more of my bolus amount at three hours!
again, for anyone who has never read this book, I STRONGLY ADVISE YOUR 
READING IT/PURCHASING IT FOR REFERENCE!!!
