You have described it perfectly Kristin and that is so reassuring. Dns is covering her own work and that of another nurse so is rushed off her feet but said if she has not had a minute to deal with it today she would do it from her home tonight letting me know tomorrow hows that for a great health carer
That's ridiculous!! They have no clue the challenges we go through.
I love my endo and his nurse but they don't have diabetes. They told me they were identical but I beg to differ. I eat the same macros at each meal and have very tight control so it's easy for me to spot the differences. I also take extremely small doses so I can see there too. The dosing for me is the same with either one just humalog is so much smoother and longer. Novolog was so harsh I would feel every little intricacy. And it would make me cry I think. For no reason other then the jolt it gave me. No more tears!!! That was so annoying, crying for no reason. My basal doesn't last at all during the day so I do rely on bolus. I eat 4 small meals and a few snacks as I tend to need insulin every three hours or so but this works well for me as I prefer grazing and lower doses to larger meals and higher doses. Less room for error and feels calmer. I also stay much steadier rather than little dips before rises. Now it's just steady steady.
I have 7 vials of novolog that I'm going to toss. That's how much I prefer humalog.
Hope you get some answers and that humalog works for you as it does me.
