    Type 1.5 Insulin not effective, can anybody help me please?

    Hi Milli - Yes I experience the same. I also use Novo Rapid and have used it for years. I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 35 years. About a year ago I changed the basal insulin from Levemir to Humalog and got the diabetes regulated so well, that at the moment I do not need to use Novo Rapid very...

    Slow reacting Novo Rapid Insulin

    Before I took insulin 20 min to 1/2 an hour before, but now I take it 1 and 1/2 hour before. It helps - it is better, but not very practical. Yes it can be something with the digestion also. My Stomack nerve Nervus Vagus works too slow (because of diabetes), but slower digestion should react...

    Hi Juicy - yes I also think it is the Levemir which is wrong, but I will first try to make a basal test, before I change. to something else.

    Slow reacting Novo Rapid Insulin

    Hi Tim2000s - Thanks for your advises. I take Levemir 2 times a day. I have tried to regulate the Levemir, but have not increased it. Maybe I need more, but I will make a basal test first.

    Novorapid insulin react very slow

    Novorapid insulin react very slow

    Thank you for your comment - yes I am rotating the sites of injections, and in reality I use very small amounts of insulin - 3 units per meal - so I do not think this is the reason. probably something is wrong with my basal dose

    Novorapid insulin react very slow

    I have Diabetes 1 for more than 30 years. I am diagnosed with brittle diabetes, so my control is not always very good. But the last month have been strange. I use Novorapid insulin, which should be fast, but when I take it in the morning it does not react until around midday. Then I take the...

    should you reuse pen needles

    I have had Diabetes 1 for more than 30 years. All that time I have used my needles for about 1 month and never had any problems of any kind. But we are different - what do not harm me might harm others.
