Having been ill for a few days and not really eaten, I went back on the food today, and therefore, back to bolussing.
My basal level blood sugars are in an acceptable range (and the Lantus is therefore having an effect) however, I'm seeing what appears to be no response to NovoRapid. I've swapped pens, changed cartridges and needles, and also used multiple injection sites. All I'm seeing is a typical Lantus basal flatline and nothing that looks like food or Novorapid having an effect.
Now it might be that I'm having a spectacularly effective bolus insulin timing effect today and it's completely flattened out my blood glucose, but it's a little unusual to see it so flat, especially with the extra insulin I've done. It's amazing that the Libre shows me this, whereas before I'd just have noted that by finger pricks looked okay.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Am I being OCD, because, well, I have the information now?
