Hi,

My blood glucose has fallen 3 units in an hour? Is that too fast? I can't say i'm feeling too grand at the moment. How quickly should a reading fall after a Novorapid jab?

@Sally49 Were you injecting to eat or injecting a correction dose?

What's your blood sugar now?

Hi, sorry for tardy reply. It was a correction dose I think. Would it fall quicker if it was a correction dose then?

It can vary but if you injected insulin but didn't eat (a correction dose) then you'd probably see a swifter drop as there's no food putting your blood sugar up.
