Hello,
How long should Novorapid take to kick in? I seem to go high (in the teens) for up to 2-2 1/2 hours after meals and then it drops.
My bloods from today:
Pre Breakfast (7am)- 3.8 (treated hypo). Ratio of 2 units for every 10grams.
9am- 14.9 (Was very tempted to correct).
10.30- I had dropped to 2.8
Before lunch (12pm)- 5.5
2pm - 15 (again tempted to correct)
6pm- 6.6
From patterns in my readings over the last few days- it appears it takes my body about 4 hours to bring myself back down to my target range. Is that 'normal'?
Are these spikes of highs after meals going to impact my overall Hba1c?
I take Lantus as my basal- intend to do a basal test. Just need to stop waking up on lows first.
