[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2048887, member: 468714"] Hi again [USER=505154]@Mad76[/USER], If you look up ' pictures of Lantus profiles and of Novorapid ( i think thst us your short-acting insulin? fFirst: the graphs are about the amount of insulin present or otherwise the strength of blood-sugar lowering effect over time. They are produced by the manufactures of the insulin in question and so are an average of the effects - we all may have slightly different graphs to these individually. Second: see how long Novorapid lasts ? 6 hours maybe, so it is going to influence the bsls during that time and may or may not leave you with a normal, high, or liw bsls at the end of its 'reign'. Third: Lantus supposedly lasts 24 hours in most people. And from the graph will be active overnight. Four: so the combo ofvNivorapud til say ? Midnight ( plus some background Lantus along the way ). and Lantus alone from 12 mn til ? at least til say 6 am. Is what will mainly influence bsls overnight. If course some fiod eaten near bedtime ciukd up the blood sugar fir 2 hours or so and this sounds like the quick fix solution from your nurse. And a hypo at night will change bsls either by the liver releasing stired glucose in repomnse to a low bsls and also uf any food is eaten due to rhe hypo. Fifth: what do you see as your options? I could list them now, or would like the opportunity to list them yourself for discussion in the next minutes, hours etc? Problem solving is part of what we learn to do, so that we gain some independence, and confidence although we touch base with our DSNS, doctor about it. There are no absolutely right answers, it is not a test, just a chance to think about it and then see what us 'mistake- makers' have found and learned from. [/QUOTE]
