Anyone taking Humalin I ?

Hi

Wondering if anyone takes this? I have been taking Humalin I, im on 16 units before bed, I do pretty good during the night 6’s and 7’s then I go up to 8’s when I get up and into the 9’s after yogurt and berries, then drop to around 7 or even 6 all day except for food times.

Last nightI forgot to take it (weird night with daughters 18th birthday party so broke routine) this morning when I remembered I took 10 units, I figured I would take a lower dose as I wasnt sure if it was ok to take it in the morning.

Flatlining all day so far, flatline on yogurt (took my novorapid but always do) iwas mid 4’s (incredibly rare for me) so ate an egg and bacon sandwich including homemeal toast, nothing ! That should have put me up to 15

Have i accidentally found an answer? Is it ok to take it in the morning? can I split my dose to 8 units am, 8 units p,m?

Thankyou

Hi Fenn I am also n Humulin 1. I take mine in the morning. I know that quite a few people take medium and longer acting insulin at night.

I also take humalog three times before breakfast, lunch and evening meal. I would suggest discussing any changes this your DSN.

Hope this is some help
