[QUOTE="Clueso, post: 2552267, member: 529339"] Hi Everyone, I finally started taking Novorapid purely to be able to enjoy a few carb meals and I must say the results are depressing. I simply cant work out how to balance it out. I am just going on this depressing merry go round of going down to hypo levels and then taking a few Jelly Beans and overshooting the other way and cycle continues. If you could advise me on how you handle the following I would greatly appreciate it. 1. Once you go down to 3, how do you treat your hypo and how much do you take? For example yesterday I had a bowl of pasta and injected 3 units and within one hour I was at 3, thus took only two Jelly beans and I have been over 12 for the last 12 hours which is never the norm for myself. 2. I am also trying to figure out how long before my meal should I take insulin? I have tried 15 mins before and yesterday one hour before food and I still went down to 3. Logically I know I should probably take 2 or 1 units and see how I go, but I still need to know how I manage hypos without overshooting on the high end. 3. Lastly, I dont seem to have any hypo symptoms at all when my sugar is at 3 which is concerning. Is this quite normal? Something that was supposed to give me a bit more flexibility and mental relief is causing the exact opposite. Any counsel on how to get the dosage right will be much appreciated. Thank you [/QUOTE]
