[QUOTE="Cheryl, post: 251879, member: 35617"] Sugar2- I changed from Humalog to Novorapid 4 weeks ago at the suggestion of my consultant, though I was reluctant to look at highs when my priority is the lows. Since then? No change in highs, but a 25-35% increase in lows!! I am not a happy teddy at the moment. Just done my figures for this month: over 50 hypos. I'd just about got it down to about 30 with the Humalog. I do try & get my insulin into me as early as possible. I find with breakfast (my consistently the same meal) about 30 mins is right or I start to drop (wouldn't know this without CGM), but I'll still go from 4 to 12 or 6 to 14 in 1hr 55m (always peaks at that time) & back to where I started after 5 hours. I've tried dual-waves, squares etc etc & these work for some meals, but I usually have to get as much insulin into me as possible straight away to stop a huge peak at 16-18+. Later in the day, however, my BG peaks around 2.5-3hrs after eating, but still gets back to normal (or too low) after 5 hours. At the end of the day, my last hba1c was 7.0, so alright, just. I can only keep plugging away & the CGM is helping me understand some of what goes on and avoid even more hypos, but I don't think that I'll ever get rid of those highs. [/QUOTE]
