    Humulin M3 Kwik Pen

    I use Humulin M3 started at 4 units ended up on 90 am and 90 pm now down to 38 am and 36 pm. I was told that even though 90 meant injecting 60 the pens max then dialling in another 30 I wasn't the highest dose they had seen. Hope your mum gets better soon and stabilizes her BS.

    7.8 lowest this morning, lowest was 5 highest 12.8 no idea why it changes so much. Some nights I have a big dinner with pudding and wine late on and the reading is low (for me 6-7.5) and then I will have a low carb dinner early in the evening and my BS is 10-12 how does this work?
