[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 2146873, member: 352098"] There are several possibilities. Has the Novorapid been in use and out of the fridge for 28 days already ? If so, it can become ineffective because it has been without refrigeration for too long. I find sometimes that insulin becomes less effective before the recommended 28 day discard point. Alternatively. has the insulin overheated through being left next to a radiator or other heat source ? This is the simplest explanation, so it is worthwhile trying a new cartridge/pen from your stock to eliminate this possibility first. Another possibility is that you could be comng down with a virus/ other infection of some sort. This can make a massive difference to your BS levels and consequently to your insulin requirements. Illness usually causes glucose levels to rise. Just saw this sort of advice has already been given, so will just add try not to panic and take things easy. Keep monitoring your BS levels and see what new effect new insulin from the fridge has on the situation. How high are your test results and when did this problem start ? [/QUOTE]
