[QUOTE="novorapidboi26, post: 659054, member: 90156"] I am not personally familiar with Lispro, but I think with any insulin, whether its fast acting or a mixture of fast/slow you shouldn't be giving correction doses every 2 hours....... a Google suggests Lisrpo is basically Humalog, which is fast acting I believe............similar to Novorapid, so at 2 hours the insulin you gave will be peaking and has still got some time to work......... this is why you went hypo no doubt........ you seem to be upset with peaking blood sugars 2 hours into a insulin injection.............I realize you had an omelette which shouldn't give you much of a spike being carb free, but when there is carbs a peak 2 hours after this is normal......... trying to keep the spikes down to an acceptable level, which should be 2-3mmol above your pre meal reading, can be achieved by altering the timing of your insulin before you actually eat....... Humalog starts working in about 5-10 minutes, so your injection should be done 5-10 minuted before eating......this time can be extended if you feel the spike is too high.........you will find that different foods/combination of foods digest at different speeds, the timing is basically all about trying to match up the digestion time profile with the insulin profile.....
