Agree!@alphabeta This is true we are all different, the actual advice given by Novo Nordisk on their site is that it can last between 3 and 5 hours and at this time of night given this was taken in error it's wise to err on the side of caution, by 3am she should be ok
I took it at 10pm. My BG was 13.5. Eaten lots and just tested again and it's 15.3. It dipped a little at 12am.The main issue/danger of low blood sugar is probably at the peak of action which could be 1 to 3 hours after injection of Novorapid.
Well, it is hyperglycemia but personally I would not take action.I took it at 10pm. My BG was 13.5. Eaten lots and just tested again and it's 15.3. It dipped a little at 12am.
That's sort of what I was hoping.Hi @4mum, So with a starting BSL of 13.5 that sounds like plenty of reserve for any fall in BSL
Thanks. Yes I was happy to be cautious. I had an idea what to do but as it was the first time I think I needed to hear it too.Hello @4mum_ glad to hear your ok, at that time of night it best to err on the side of caution, hopefully not an experience you’ll repeat anytime soon
Thank you. I think because id not long had the hypo I was a bit fuzzy and tired and only waiting for 10pm to do my basal for bed. Landed up going about 2am lol.Well done on keeping it to a decent, under the circumstances, level. Most type 1's have done that at some point or another. I can guarantee you won't do that again for long time
Last year, while camping, I done my basal dose at around 11pm and went to sleep. Woke up at 4am with 2 paramedics hovering over me. Apparently I had been fitting around 2.30am. My other half phoned 999 as she couldnt get sugar into me. BG was Lo and the paramedics didn't want to leave me until my BG was above 5.....that wasnt until 7am
Any ideas what happened and why you went so low ?
