Hi, I’ve been switched from an intermediate insulin (twice a day), to a once a day long lasting insulin plus Novorapid with meals. Problem is I’ve had no advice on how much to take. My pharmacy couldn’t get hold of the long lasting insulin straight away so I carried on using my intermediate and added in the Novorapid. This has worked quite well so far, but now I’ve received the long lasting. Can anyone tell me if I was injecting, for example, 15iu of intermediate in the morning and again in the evening, should I be starting off with something like 10iu or perhaps 20iu of long lasting?
I know you can’t tell me how much to take, I just need some idea of how intermediate compares with long lasting insulin if that’s even possible?
Also, I presume it doesn’t matter what time I take the long lasting (morning or night), as long as I take it at the same time each day? I was planning on taking it in the morning.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
