[QUOTE="SamFlood, post: 2435805, member: 548086"] The past week or more there have been episodes where my bolus insulin just won't work properly. I'm on Novorapid, been diagnosed for almost 3 years. Recently I have been getting high blood sugars, some up in the 20s after meals. Then ill take a correction dose, 1 hour later will hardly come down, another hour same thing, another hour same thing until the morning when the insulin finally works. It feels like I'm taking long-acting insulin for meals when I'm using rapid-acting. Then it starts working fine before happening again. The episodes are only lasting longer and longer and happening more often. My ketones are fine, the highest I believe they have been was 0.3. I'm pretty sure I'm going into another now after a day of it working. This is crazy and I hate it. I have tried changing insulin vials, even getting a new one from the pharmacy; rotating injection sites, but they haven't worked. This seems like it's a problem with my body and not the insulin! What's going on? I need help this is getting worse! [/QUOTE]
