You can add trash until the compartment is full and the compactor will not compact the trash any further. The compact cycle time will be shortened as the compartment fills up. During full cycle the ram travels 2/3 of the way down into the trash bucket.
With Humalog's short action time of 3  hours, covering postmeal highs with more insulin can be considered as soon as two hours if a meal dose have been underestimated. Of course, not as much sliding scale insulin would be needed here as before a meal, because some of the meal dose is yet to work.
Humalog would act within 20 mins and peak for maybe 60. Novolog is fine if my sugar is stable, but if I forget to dose before a meal or my sugar is inordinately high it does nothing for several hours and then I plummet. Brutal. I'm now curious what my next a1c will beâ¦ Historically high 6sâ¦.
