I have been on it 24 hrs and to be honest it is not solving the problem yet i e. Getting my bs down quicker. Waking up with12 to 16 readings and this morning i t still took over 2 hrs to get to 10!

I usually finish meal about 7.30pm having started about 7, Novorapid 7pm. I di not eatanything else (only say a biscuit/juice if going down to 5ish). I take Lantus 11.15-11.30pm Sometimes it plummets, usually when below 10. So dinner and Novo should have gone. Could there be an is due with...

Once or twice a week. I thought it was long acting background insulin..thanks for the info [emoji846]

I ask because at the mo.and I an finding it hard ti raise my bs once I am low, my alarn goes off at 4.6, I have orange juice and glucose sweets, yet still drops to about 3..and just stays there for say 20mins. Thats why I need to know about the fastest thing to take.

Why is s long acting insulin making my bs drop so quickly?

2 issues... I take Lantus at bed time (as well as in the morning). 1. Why does my bs drop like a stone at bed time as soon as I've taken it? Really is weird. No Novorapid taken! 2) My bs seems to shoot up around 6am,whatever level my bs is at.. Does that mean i am not taking enough at...

Hi, thanks for reply, where do you get that?

What is the quickest remedy for treating a low? Coke, Lucozade, orange juice, glucose tablets?

Thank you! I hope it works quicker as that is the whole point with me, Novo is so slow. If I wakeup andam10 to 15 it wil lliterally take almost 2 hrs to get to a normal level! Before i can eat breakfast. Stressing me out and time in target is rubbish so i worry about complications. Fingers crossed.

Oh no [emoji52]

Being put on this as Novorapid just seems to take ages to react. Anyone any feedback on it please i.e benefits/disadvantages. Thank you.

Have no idea how much to take. I split Lantus between waking up and bedtime. My control is good all day really, but on going to bed it all goes haywire. Sometimes my sugar plummets like a stone, sometimes it shoots up at 4 to 6 am, and Whichever it is I wake on levels of 14 -16. How can it...

Hi, thanks for your reply. I just think if it works for you then why change it, it is not always practical to do them 12 hours apart but I think as long as you are covered for 24 hours, then what is the problem? Bit annoyed really that the nurse said this when I am doubting if it is helpful or...

One of my diabetes nurses told me the other day that her team no longer advised splitting Lantus. (even though I had spoken to another one in January who said nothing...) Is this a known nationwide thing because I've been doing it for many years to get a better balance of insulin i.e. before...

Totally agree! Never known anyone below 42. Totally unrealistic Thanks for advice.

Thank you that is good to know.:)
