[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 240880, member: 13582"] Thanks everyone, I think a change of insulin might be worth a go; but I see that there are problems with the availability of Apidra at the moment which is frustrating. Noblehead; that's very interesting about the eggs/bacon dose. I'm pretty much on the same levels; probably would take about 5 or 6 units of Novorapid in that situation. But if I were to eat porridge I'd have to take a very large dose; say 15 - 20 units to cover it and then have all the problems of possible hypos in the tail end of the insulin action. The 'gentler' action insulin that Phoenix mentions; the 'regular' insulin, is in the UK Humulin S which has a slower start and longer tail, but I think it's too slow for me. All a bit weird really. Possibly I just won't be able to reduce my insulin by much more. Sometimes I wonder why I bother being a diabetic; it seems such a lot of effort sometimes... :crazy: :P Dillinger [/QUOTE]
