[QUOTE="Snodger, post: 313000, member: 27045"] Yes it makes more sense if you will be eating something before the fast - but your insulin jab tonight will still be working through tomorrow (humulin 30/70 lasts 18-24 hours - [url=http://www.globalrph.com/combination-insulins.htm]http://www.globalrph.com/combination-insulins.htm[/url]). So make sure you are always carrying some sugar or sweet sugary drink with you tomorrow, just in case - I'm sure you know that already but no harm in saying it again. I still think it's better to take your Wednesday evening jab when you break your fast, than wait for Thursday morning, if you are going to be eating Wednesday evening. Otherwise there's going to be no insulin left to cope with the carbs in your Wednesday evening meal. But the worst that can happen if you don't jab on Wed pm is that your blood sugar will run high overnight and maybe take a bit longer to come down again on Thursday. Just for info - apologies if you already know this - there are other insulin regimes which are much easier to fast on. It might be worth asking your doc about them for next year. Let me know if you want more on this. Hopefully some of the others Pneu has PM'd will come along soon with more concrete info. [/QUOTE]
