novorapid

Hi all, Just came back from the pharmacy and checked my insulin. The packaging looks like this and is bulky, obviously has the right medication inside of it. Anyone else seen this in their lives before? Normally I just get the brand packaging lol. Generic:

Hi All, From my last two prescriptions I've noticed that my Novorapid smells a lot stronger that normal and seemingly doesn't work as quickly. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know if the insulin has changed? Any thoughts are gratefully received. Thanks, Dave

(I will not be taking anything as a medical advice, i just need some help! So dont worry) Hello! So im typing this in a panic. I was on one single nightly dose of levemir at 16 units but it dropped me greatly at night and didnt last me a whole 24 hours so after so much contemplation i decided...

Hi everyone, I’m a type 1 diabetic currently in recovery from an eating disorder, alongside this I would restrict my insulin to prevent weight gain, I’m now doing my insulin and physically feel a little better, but I am really struggling with the weight I put on, especially as it’s been so fast...

Hello, I’ve been type 1 for around 8months now, have really good control and over everything is going well and I’m happy! however recently I have went from taking 4 units of fast acting insulin to 20 units for the same meal. To my understanding I just thought my honeymoon period was ending...

Hello! I am a type 1 diabetic. My insulin is Novorapid (pens), but I don't like to eat a lot of carbs -- it's not my food pattern. When I was in a hospital, my doctor told me: "Dont eat so many proteins and fats as you used to. You must eat many carbs and use Novorapid". Course, I dont't want...

Hi, I’m just about to start Novorapid injections to help whilst I’m on steroids (Prednisolone). My doctor has said to get my levels down to 10 to start with (with every 3 points it needs to come down as 1 unit of insulin). My question is I test before my meal and is that when I inject, or do I...

I have lost my Accu-Chek glucometer, which also had my short acting insulin with it (Novorapid). I have taken my long acting insulin (Tresiba) as usual. I realise I should probably go to the hospital but it’s Saturday night so will be choaos! My dad has type 2 diabetes and takes Metformin so I’m...

Hi! I’m was diagnosed as type 1 recently and I’m on Levmir 5u morning 3u evening. (Switched from Lantus as I was going low at night and high during the day.) I’m also on novirapid 1:10carbs. My control has been really good since the switch to levemir. (I was up in the teens). My consultant...

Hi, I have been having some problems with Novorapid and how long it takes to kick in. I did an experiment this morning. At 8am my blood sugar levels were at 7.8 and I took 38 units of Novorapid. I didn't eat anything and monitored my sugar levels. They didn't start to decrease until just...

Hi, just wondering if anyone can give me any sort of advice. I am 24 years old (17 half stone and approx 6ft) and have had diabetes since I was 8, I have a relatively good hba1c of 49 but I use an incredible amount of insulin I use a tslim pump and dexcom and currently use a cartridge (around...

Hi, i'm new to this forum and i just needed a place to vent, cry and let out my fears and rage. I was diagnosed with my diabetes in 2004 when I was 12 years old. I will be honest i've never been good at monitoring blood sugars etc. Mostly so since I became an independent adult. However, I am...

Hey everyone, I've been a type 1 diabetic for 12 years soon, where I have been through both pump and pen therapy. I have a preference for pen, thus using those. In general, I do not have an issue, but I have a hard time figuring out how to ideally set up my basal insulin. I am very active...

Hello all, Had completely forgotten about this forum so was nice to find it again. I have had T1D for 13 years this year, my main issue is around being allergic to insulin. When I was first diagnosed I was on Novorapid and Lantus for around 4/5 years when I developed an allergy to Novorapid -...

Hello! At the start of the year I had my annual Hba1c test having had two Gestational Diabetes pregnancies which both involved Humilin I and Novorapid from week 8 of pregnancy with weekly increased doses. Anyway, hbA1c came back as 6.5%, right on the cusp, I wasn’t told that I was prediabetic...

Hi there! 25 year old from Australia here. I was diagnosed with type 1 a little over a month ago and have been feeling pretty good with everything and for the most part, I have felt on top of it. When I was admitted to hospital with what I thought was food poisoning, I had a blood glucose of 24...

Soo I've been diabetic for 14 years now and been given a new schedule regarding my insulin. I've just given a correction dose of 3 units of my novorapid but also its time to take my Tresiba insulin, I'm just checking if taking these two insulins so close together would be okay ? I'm 19 and...

Hi! New to the forums, I'm Type 1 and injecting Novorapid for meals and Lantus in the evening. I'm trying to tackle my high sugars in the mornings. I recently saw a diabetes dietician and she suggested I make a switch from my usual breakfast bars of about 30g of carbs to something with low GI...

I've been using novorapid for over 2 years now but in the last month or so I have noticed it has a disgusting smell that wasn't there before. When I first started novorapid I noticed it had a chemically smell but it wasn't anything terrible and not too noticeable, in fact I quite liked it...

I've always been told that NovoRapid takes aroung 15 minutes to get going and lasts for 4 hours. I bought a Libre sensor at the weeking (amasing) and have been using it since Sunday lunchtime. On Sunday night my BG was about 6 when I ate at 10pm (60g carbs patsa) I took my normal doe of novo...
