Just I need novorapid before food but don't want to take it as I have had levamier so I can't eat and don't no what Todo
Hi, parkinsonryan, I see you've been recently dx'd so it's understandable it's all a bit of a mystery at the moment!
Ok, you've taken your basal, slow acting, levemir instead of the bolus, fast acting novorapid.
The levemir you have just taken will act just like it normally would, a slow acting insulin to take care of background needs.
But because you have taken it now instead of when you normally would, it means that you shouldn't "double up" the dose when the time comes for when you normally take the levemir dose.
Let's say, for example, you normally inject the levemir before bed. When it gets to that time, think back to how much you just injected and then adjust the dose. If, for example, you would normally inject, say, 10u of levemir before bed, but you've just accidentally injected 6u, drop the 10u back to 4u, so you end up with 10u overall - there's a lot of leeway with slow basal insulin, the timing doesn't matter too much.
Although you've injected the levemir sooner than you might normally do, it won't affect what you should do with the fast bolus novorapid. You still need that for meals, the levemir won't affect that.
Just make sure you inject the novorapid on the other side of your stomach: the levemir will do its thing - keeping you steady when not eating, the novorapid will do its - dealing with meals.
Good luck!
